ChronCon 2025 – May 24th & 25th
Mission Statement
ChronCon is the annual international convention of Chronic Pain Anonymous. The convention strives to support people living with chronic pain and/or illness, by providing a platform with unique engagement opportunities such as panels, workshops, and spaces for community connection. ChronCon’s primary purpose is to nurture Chronic Pain Anonymous as a whole by carrying the message of recovery to those who still suffer, while also strengthening connections between members around the world.
2025’s theme is “How Creative Can We Be?”.
Living peacefully, joyfully, and comfortably with chronic pain and illness asks us to be creative in as many aspects of our lives as we can imagine. Can we honour our limits, and live our best lives? No creative or artistic experience is required to attend.

Scholarships tickets are available for $1.00 to anyone in need. Please email chroncon@chronicpainanonymous.org with your request. We encourage requests be sent ASAP. We will do our best and intend on checking the email over the weekend, but cannot guarantee requests made after May 22, 2025 will be fulfilled in time to attend the event.
2025 Post-ChronCon Survey please take a moment after the event weekend to share with us your experience.
Memorial Submissions for 2025
As part of the last session on Sunday, we will be holding a tribute for those CPA Members who have passed on since last year’s ChronCon. The fellowship has found reminiscing our members at ChronCon to be healing. We truly believe that remembering those we have lost helps keep their spirits alive in our hearts.
Please submit the form linked below by May 21, for the CPA member(s) you would like to honor during ChronCon.
Please email ChronCon@chronicpainanonymous.org for further information.
