Celebrating America's 250th - Driven by Dreams

After last year's vibrant journey to Miami, it's time to set our sights on a new destination - one filled with history, energy, imagination, and unmistakable American spirit.

Mark your calendars for Friday, November 20, 2026, as the 19th Champagne Ball & Awards Evening returns to the Hilton Nagoya for a milestone celebration inspired by the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.

This year's theme is:

Celebrating America's 250th - Driven by Dreams

From the spirit of independence to the open road, from bold ideas to big ambitions, America's story has always been shaped by dreamers, builders, innovators, and those willing to chase possibility. This year, we'll celebrate that spirit with an evening inspired by the sights, sounds, flavors, and energy of Americana.

We are planning a night filled with classic American style, memorable entertainment, festive cuisine, and plenty of surprises along the way. Guests can expect a celebration that captures the warmth, confidence, and optimism of the American dream - with just the right touch of Champagne Ball sparkle.

And while a few special details are still under wraps, let's just say this year's theme may bring a little extra horsepower to the ballroom.

As always, black tie and business attire are welcome, but guests are encouraged to embrace the theme. Think classic Americana, vintage elegance, red, white, and blue accents, or your own stylish interpretation of American glamour.

Save the date, spread the word, and get ready for a night of dreams, celebration, and American spirit at the 19th Champagne Ball & Awards Evening!
