On November 25, 2025, we had the honor of welcoming guests from various industries to our second Thanksgiving Dinner of the season in Düsseldorf.

Our Regional Chapter Chairs, Christin Schack and Theresa Winkels, opened the evening by warmly welcoming our guests of honor and distinguished speakers, U.S. Consul General Preeti Shah from the U.S. Consulate General Duesseldorf and Philip Dipner, CFO, NiCE Cognigy. Their remarks set the tone for an inspiring night filled with meaningful conversations, transatlantic dialogue, and a strong sense of community.

A special highlight of the evening was the traditional turkey cutting ceremony, marking the start of a festive and memorable celebration.

A big thank you to our speakers, guests and especially our sponsors, without whom this event would not have been possible - Gold Sponsor: 3M, Silver Sponsor: Wirtschaftsförderung Düsseldorf and Supporter TEEKANNE Deutschland (represented by Claudia Wüsthof, Shareholder).

We were also delighted to celebrate TEEKANNE's 30 years as an AmCham Germany member - congratulations and a big thank you for your long-standing support!
