2026 Signature Annual Holiday Lunch: Engines of Global Growth

The holidays are here! Celebrate with the British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia at our Signature Annual Holiday Luncheon, a festive and formal gathering celebrating the enduring U.S.-UK business relationship and the people who strengthen it every day.

This year’s theme, Engines of Global Growth, celebrates the industries, organizations, and individuals whose work keeps the U.S.-UK relationship moving forward throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. Inspired by the engines that power our region’s thriving manufacturing and transportation sectors, the theme also recognizes the people, partnerships, and ideas that drive transatlantic growth. Together, our work makes Greater Philadelphia an engine of global growth, demonstrating that the strength of our international business community comes not from any one industry, but from all of us working together.

As Philadelphia builds on the momentum of America’s 250th Anniversary and continues to strengthen its position on the global stage, this year’s Holiday Lunch shines a spotlight on the people behind that progress. Whether connecting supply chains, advancing life-changing innovation, expanding investment, or opening new international opportunities, every contribution helps keep the engine of global business running. Throughout 2026, we’ve seen firsthand how collaboration across industries continues to strengthen our region’s international business community and create new opportunities on both sides of the Atlantic.

In our largest event of the year, consider this your sincere invitation to join fellow business leaders, government officials, entrepreneurs, and members of the international business community as we celebrate an extraordinary year for transatlantic business in Philadelphia and look ahead to the opportunities that will define the year to come.
