2020 Virtual Holiday Celebration

Friday, Dec 4, 2020

Needless to say, this year is different than any other year! And while we really enjoyed our past annual Galas, spending an evening with you enjoying dinner and each other’s company before the holidays, we don’t want to miss out on a social — virtual — gathering nonetheless!

For our virtual holiday event, we are planning to spend an hour+ together which will include

  • Official greetings from the GABC President Bodo Liesenfeld
  • Greetings from the German Consul General Nicole Menzenbach
  • A comedy / entertainment segment (joining us live from Germany that night!)
  • A short keynote by John Tesoro, CEO of TÜV SÜD America
  • Breakout-Tables for more intimate conversation
  • A Raffle
  • A small suprise mailing for everyone who registered

We recommend you have a glass of your favorite drink on hand to reflect with us on this truly unusual and eventful year and to cheer to a peaceful and much brighter 2020.


While we cannot provide you with a dinner for the evening, we were able to secure a special promotional code*) from Hello Fresh for a mealkit delivery that you can order for that week. (If you didn’t know:  Hello Fresh is a German company founded in Berlin and is the world’s leading meal kit company.)

Use promo code: GABC2020

*) $20 off each of the first 4 boxes plus free shipping on the first box. You can cancel any time.


What spells out pandemic more than “puzzlemania“? Yes, puzzles are one of the most sought after items during the pandemic and going into the holiday season — and sold out quickly! Luckily, we were able to secure puzzles and other games directly from our friends at Ravensburger, the classic German games & puzzle company. Whether you want to keep them yourselves for a game night or gift them this holiday season, try your luck! Tickets sold as singles or in pack of 6.

Winners don’t have to be present at event. Purchase raffle tickets here.
