2022 Friendship & Dialogue Dinner

Join us to celebrate 20 years of dialogue!

We are excited to invite you to the Annual Friendship and Dialogue Dinner on Sunday, December 4, 2022, at 5:00 pm.

Venue: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin / 6505 N Interstate 35 Austin, TX 78752

Please join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Dialogue Institute and all we have accomplished over the past 20 years, thanks to your gracious support.

The first event we organized 20 years ago was a conference at the Thompson Conference Center titled "How to Prevent Another September 11" with prominent scholars, including Prof. John Esposito of Georgetown University. We look forward to Dr. Esposito joining us again 20 years later as the keynote speaker on December 4.

Each year we recognize exceptional contributions and service to the community by businesses, organizations, and individuals. This year, we are excited to announce that the Gulen Peace Award goes to "Austin Jews and Partners for Refugees" for providing essential support to the refugees from Afghanistan during their resettlement.

• Keynote: Dr. John L. Esposito - Georgetown University, DC.
