2026 Thanksgiving Lunch

Now in its second year, the American Australian Association’s annual Thanksgiving Lunch brings together Australians and Americans to celebrate the enduring friendship between our countries and the opportunities it creates. Featuring an inspiring keynote address and engaging Q&A with a special guest who has achieved extraordinary success on the world stage, the event will explore the power of ambition, resilience and determination in pursuing excellence and achieving remarkable goals.

Bringing together leaders and professionals from across business, government, sport and the broader community, the Thanksgiving Lunch offers sponsors a unique opportunity to connect with an influential audience, strengthen relationships and engage in meaningful conversations. Guests will enjoy an afternoon of inspiring insights, valuable networking and shared experiences over a traditional, family-style Thanksgiving meal.

Embracing the spirit of Thanksgiving and the Australian value of “mateship,” the event celebrates the people-to-people connections that underpin the US-Australia relationship. It provides an opportunity to foster new friendships, strengthen existing partnerships and celebrate the shared values that bring our two nations together.
