Gala 2011

We invite you to be a part of the Gala hosted by the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest (GACCoM), MN Chapter. Set high above the city of Minneapolis, MN in the beautifully appointed IDS Tower, the Gala will once again be a social highlight for the German-American business community in the Midwest. Our approximately 300 guests will experience a distinctive evening including an elegant dinner, a sumptuous wine tasting of international and domestic wines presented by Sommeliers Udo Heinz of Udo Heinz Consult and Kyle Peterson of Winehaven Winery, an entertaining program centered on German language education, luxorious items at the Silent & Live Auction, and networking with the GACCoM, MN Chapter business community.

This year we will have the distinct pleasure of welcoming our key note speaker and honored guest, Professor Dr. Norbert Lammert, President of the German Parliament (Bundestagspräsident).
