The General Service Conference means both:

The service structure of AA groups, Intergroups, Regions, GSC and GSB
The annual meeting of Conference delegates

The General Service Conference is the practical means by which the Group conscience in Britain can express itself in matters that concern the Fellowship as a whole. The existence of Conference is moreover a guarantee that the Fellowship will be able to function under all conditions. It is, in effect, the successor to the founders of AA, ensuring the continuity of the work within the framework of the Twelve Traditions.
