Fall European Networking 2026

Last week, the European business community of the Bay Area came together at SAP Labs for EuroCham’s Fall European Networking Evening – and GABA was delighted to be part of it.

Entrepreneurs, expats, diplomats, and professionals from across Europe and the United States gathered to reconnect after the summer, exchange ideas, and make new connections.

Bringing so many nationalities, perspectives, and industries together in one room is a wonderful reminder of what makes the European business community in the Bay Area so special – and how much the transatlantic relationship is built through personal connections, conversations, and collaboration.

A highlight of the evening came courtesy of the German Consulate General San Francisco and the Excelsior Center in Oakland: the DDC Dancer from Schweinfurt brought Oktoberfest spirit to the stage with an unexpected twist: breakdancing in Lederhosen! A fun and memorable combination of German tradition and contemporary culture.

A warm thank you to SAP Labs for hosting the European community, to BPM LLP and Seebass Vineyards for supporting the evening, and to EuroCham for bringing us all together.

We were delighted to see so many GABA members and friends there and look forward to many more opportunities to connect, collaborate, and strengthen the Bay Area’s vibrant European business community.
