2026 Global Business Summit Consulate Reception

Description

What if you could explore the cultures, opportunities, and perspectives of countries from around the globe—all without leaving New Hampshire?

Join the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire for the 2026 Consulate Reception, where New Hampshire's global community comes together for an evening of conversation, connection, and discovery.

Meet representatives from consulates serving the Boston and New York regions as they showcase their countries through discussions about international business, travel, culture, education, and diplomacy. Whether you're exploring new markets, planning your next adventure, or simply curious about the world, you'll have the unique opportunity to engage directly with diplomats and international partners—all in one evening.

The event will also feature the presentation of the 5th Annual International Businesswoman of the Year Award, honoring a leader whose work has strengthened New Hampshire's international connections. This year's awardee is Gabriella Parisse, CEO of Velcro Companies. Join us to celebrate the accomplishments of this global leader, right here in Manchester.
