The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council invites you to join us for a special “Back to Business” reception celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 6:00 PM in Abu Dhabi (location provided upon confirmation of attendance)
As the summer comes to a close and the business community reconvenes for a busy fall season, this reception will bring together senior leaders from the U.S. and U.A.E. government and private sectors to reconnect, strengthen relationships, and celebrate this historic milestone for the United States and its important partnership with the United Arab Emirates.
The evening will include a solemn tribute to U.S. independence and will feature remarks from a number of special guests, including a leading expert on American politics Dr. Adam Ramey, Associate Dean of Social Science for Curricular Affairs and Associate Professor of Political Science at NYU Abu Dhabi, who will offer a perspective on America’s 250th anniversary.
Following the remarks, guests are invited to enjoy an evening reception and networking with members of the U.S.-U.A.E. business community while experiencing classic American foods, drinks, and music as well as visual tributes to American innovation and culture.
Please note that this event is separate from our Dubai Back to Business Reception which will occur in Dubai the next night on Tuesday, September 15th, 2026.
We hope you will join us for this celebration of 250 years of American independence and the enduring U.S.-U.A.E. partnership. Please register your interest in attending this event here or by using the link below. For questions, please contact Mr. Adam Karadsheh at akaradsheh@usuaebusiness.org.
