About the Roundup
What is the Roundup?
We strive to create an inclusive and empowering weekend experience for LGBTQIA2+ individuals and allies, celebrating recovery and inspiring those exploring a sober way of living. Through dynamic speakers, impactful workshops and panels, sober-filled entertainment, and fellowship, The Chicago Roundup aims to strengthen spiritual, emotional, physical and sober well-being while building a global recovery community of connection and support.
Join us November 6-8, 2026 for “We Keep Coming Back,” the 40th Anniversary Roundup!
