You Are Cordially Invited to “Dream. Dare. Do! Stories That Shine!”

30th Annual Thanksgiving Gala Charity Dinner

Successful stories worth celebrating define this year’s Thanksgiving Gala Charity Dinner as we mark three remarkable milestones. First, the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. The second is the 30th anniversary of AmCham’s Thanksgiving tradition in Slovakia, and the third is the many extraordinary connections between our two countries, represented by success stories that connect the United States and Slovakia.

Often, true success is born quietly, from small, almost invisible beginnings, before growing into an achievement with far-reaching impact. This is the story of many Slovaks whose vision, courage, and determination have led to nationwide and global success. Their journeys remind us that uniqueness, perseverance, and bold dreams have the power to transcend borders. This goes hand in hand with AmCham Slovakia's mission for this year, and that is the continuation of the theme of the year, titled competitiveness.

Join us again for our traditional American‑style Thanksgiving Dinner, a gracious evening of exceptional cuisine, delightful company, and engaging entertainment. For an evening where gratitude and generosity meet together, where the spirit of Thanksgiving comes alive through community, compassion, and shared purpose. Where business leaders, state representatives, and partners come together for a night where tradition meets modern charm, to honor the kindness that binds us together, and to uplift those in need.

This year, we shine a light on stories worth celebrating, stories of courage, innovation, and collaboration that are inspired this year by a refined pop‑art spirit that celebrates creativity and colorfulness.

Dress code: Black tie, refined attire with a subtle touch of pop art flair.
