The British Are Coming! Join Us to Recognize & Celebrate Three Centuries of British American Business

You are cordially invited to join us for an exclusive meeting and networking reception with Dame Karen Pierce, British Ambassador to the United States. Ambassador Pierce has been invited to be our special guest and keynote speaker at Carpenters’ Hall in honor of the 300th anniversary of The Carpenters’ Company of The City and County of Philadelphia, the oldest extant craft guild in the United States, modeled after the London Carpenters’ Company.

For three centuries the UK has been our region’s most important ally, trading partner, and friend. During times of stability and times of turmoil, our nations collaborate and rely on one another.

Keynote speakers and special guests will address the historic and present-day ties between the two nations, and what the future may hold as both the US and the UK welcome new governments and trade policies.

At this critical time of global transformation, it is more important than ever to fortify our connection and continue to make history as allies. Testament to the strength of the US’ and UK’s economic, political, and cultural ties is the resilience of the transatlantic relationship throughout history.
