This year, our event will take place at Philadelphia Distilling, the first craft distillery in Pennsylvania since prohibition and producer of Bluecoat Gin. In 2017, the company renovated a 13,000 square foot warehouse into a beautiful event space including outdoor patio. During a tour of the distillery, our guests will learn about the batch-by-batch distilling process and get a close-up look of the hand-hammered copper pot stills and wooden fermentation vessels.

The Mid-Atlantic Euroasia Business Council will host all-day events honoring the 80th anniversary of Carl Lutz's great feat to save over 50,000 Jews from the Holocaust during his tenure as Vice-Consul at the Swiss Embassy following his arrival in Budabest Hungary.

Frankfurt: the financial centre, the European city, the traffic hub, the smallest metropolis in the world. When you think of the city on the Main, you think of the airport, the Paulskirche and Goethe, the Stock Exchange, the Book Fair and the unforgettable skyline. No doubt about it - Frankfurt brings opposites together in the most fruitful way.

International Guitar Night, North America’s premier mobile guitar festival, has featured the best performing guitar composers from around the world since 1995. Each tour, IGN founder Brian Gore invites a new cast of guitar luminaries to join him for special evenings of solos, duets and quartets that highlight the virtuosity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar. Since the beginning, audiences have cherished the friendly informal ambiance of the performances. Participants have relished the chance IGN affords to express reverence for one another, and to collaborate rather than compete with one another.
