About this Event
The Salt City Midwinter Roundup returns to the Marriott Syracuse Downtown (the Hotel Syracuse). The hotel and its staff provide for all of our needs during this amazing weekend. We are able to have our Sunday morning spiritual speaker available to all at no charge. Roundup attendees and hotel guests alike will enjoy free parking in the hotel parking garage on Harrison Place.
If you are unable to stay at the Marriott Downtown Syracuse, check with the Syracuse Visitors & Convention Bureau at for area hotels, availability, and prices.
The 38th Annual Salt City Midwinter Roundup
The 38th. Annual Salt City Midwinter Roundup is one of many A.A. conventions held around the world in cooperation with Al-Anon and Alateen. Al-Anon and Alateen participation is by invitation.
One of the most common misconceptions is that gatherings such as this are A.A. meetings; however, they are not. Conventions are special events planned to bring participants a meaningful experience by providing numerous opportunities to enjoy fellowship and to promote spirituality. To do this requires substantial financial resources.
This convention is self-supporting. No group money is used to pay for this event. The cost of the convention is paid through the registration fees. We do not pass a basket in any sessions. Attendance is voluntary.
Please note that a registration badge is required at all times on Friday and Saturday.
If I plan to stay at the Marriott (Hotel Syracuse), when and how should I register?
The hotel, which celebrated its centennial in 2024, underwent a total rebuild in recent years, All rooms in the hotel were completely gutted with many smaller rooms being combined into larger spaces. In the renovation, however, the hotel management preserved historic elements. Please note: some rooms will accommodate three people separately for those interested in sharing a room and expenses.
You can reserve your hotel room by phone or onlne. We have a block of rooms set aside until January 19, 2026, at the special rate of $162 per night, plus taxes. (Please note that this is the same rate as last year.) After January 19, any unsold rooms from the block of rooms will go back on general sale to the public with no guarantee that you will be able to reserve a room. Also, the special rate ends on January 19!!
To reserve your room online, click on Rounduphotel and follow the online registration process.
