Business is an important part of what we do at AHK UAE, but so is bringing people together beyond the meeting room. 
 

Last weekend, we welcomed our members, partners and friends to the annual AHK Oktoberfest at the Grand Hyatt Dubai. With more than 400 AHK members among around 1,600 guests, the Oktoberfest tent was filled with familiar faces, lively conversations and plenty of Bavarian spirit.
 

Our CEO, Dr. Martin Henkelmann, officially opened the evening with the traditional keg tapping – O’zapft is! – before Die Kirchdorfer took to the stage with classic Oktoberfest tunes.
 

With Bavarian food, live music and a great atmosphere, the evening offered the perfect opportunity to catch up with familiar contacts, meet new people and enjoy time together outside the usual business setting.
 

A big thank you to the Grand Hyatt Dubai team for hosting us, to Die Kirchdorfer for keeping the tent entertained, and to everyone who joined us and made this year’s AHK Oktoberfest such a memorable evening.
