EUROPEAN CHAMBER

European Business Gala Dinner 

European Chamber 20th Anniversary Celebration

Date: September 25th, 2020  

This sensational signature event was a swinging success, and a gala to be remembered.  With 20 years in the making this was an occasion not to be missed, and an affair that will not be quickly forgotten. The gala was hosted at the Exquisite, Conrad Hotel, which also just celebrated an anniversary itself. The scenery, spectacular setting, stellar attendees, and honored guests were all top-notch; and the entire evening was a 5-star experience like no other. The night was a mix of celebration, commemoration, camaraderie, and an evening full of reuniting with old friends and making new ones. This vicennial anniversary of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China was a monumental moment in history as the momentum of European and Chinese ties continue to build after the 20 years of its inception 2 decades ago.

The Gala was kicked off by a speech delivered by H.E. Mr. Nicolas Chapuis, the European Union’s Ambassador to China and a warm welcome from the European Chamber Tianjin Chapter Chair, Mr. Cheung Yup Fan. 

A very unique and special ceremony followed. As the European Chamber Tianjin Chapter Board members, General Manager and Mr. Ambassador poured blue sand over a whiteboard, it artistically revealed the script of “Advocating for the Future,” which is really the conclusion for the European Chamber’s core mission in the past and also a promise for members for the decades to come. The events included a symphonic duet of musical perfection from the world-renowned Tianjin Juilliard School.

Members and member companies were recognized, honoured, appreciated and awarded. We wined, dined, and whisked the night away; as many caught up with their colleagues seated together at company tables, got to know new people at mixed attendee tables, and as the wonderful traditional Chinese custom has taught us all, some walked around greeting and “cheersing” others at different tables around the Grand Ballroom. 

The evening concluded with continued clinks from wine glasses and clicks from the camera as the event photographer captured the guests on the exquisite backdrop of the 2020 European Chamber Gala stage, forever commemorating the 20th Anniversary Celebration and this moment in history.
