The concept of the EBA EuroDrink Parties goes back to 1999, introduced as a means of developing the idea of “Club spirit” and allowing businessmen working in Ukraine to gather regularly to socialise and exchange information and experience. The EuroDrink Parties is the main EBA networking activity that allows leadership of EBA member companies and diplomats to get together and communicate in a friendly informal atmosphere. The parties are usually held on the last Tuesday of each month at various restaurants or the European Embassies in Kiev. The tradition of the EBA EuroDrink also gives the EBA community a chance to learn more about European countries. Each EuroDrink Party represents culture and national cuisines of the European Union member states. Sponsorship support from the EBA members also allows making each EBA EuroDrink party a unique and unforgettable impression for each guest. EBA Business Card Lottery traditionally held at the EBA EuroDrink parties feature valuable prises (travelling to Europe etc.) kindly provided by the EBA members or Embassies. In 2005 we also started inviting outstanding Ukrainians to the EBA EuroDrink parties. Famous musicians - Gaitana, Ani Lorak, Ruslana and Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, Tina Karol; sport champions – Vitaliy Klichko, Katerina Serebryanska and Lilia Podkopaeva have already been our honorary guests. The EBA EuroDrink also gives young Ukrainian musicians a chance to express their talents during the parties. The EBA EuroDrink parties are among most favourite events for the EBA members as well as well-recognised activites on the Kyiv social scene.The EBA EuroDrink parties have already become highly popular among far outside EBA community. Over 300 guests take part in each EBA EuroDrink. For such popularity we also thank the Embassies of the European Union countries in Kyiv for their invaluable contribution into organising the Parties.
