AGBC Munich Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary!

The American-German Business Club Munich e.V. (AGBC Munich) turns 25 this November 6 and is celebrating 25 years of great business networking! Inspired by AGBC Bonn (established in 1964), a team of 10 established the Munich chapter in 1996, holding the first meeting that Spring with at least 60 attendees.

Today our AGBC networking platform has over 200 members. Over the years, we have featured inspiring guest speakers on current compelling business, technology, and cultural topics. Starting in 2006, we also feature annual Exchange events that provide our members a forum to lead discussions on business subjects or on topics about which they are passionate. Today we offer vibrant channels into the Munich international networking community and co-ordinate closely with the Bavarian Center for Transatlantic Relations (Amerikahaus) and other Munich organizations.

Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins passes away at 90

As Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon in July 1969, Michael Collins remained behind to pilot the command module, circling roughly 60 miles above the lunar surface. Collins himself never stepped foot on the moon, though his accomplishments together with Armstrong and Aldrin contributed to what remains one of the most famous space missions in history.

“It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand,” Collins said on the 10th anniversary of the moon landing in 1979. “Exploration is not a choice really — it’s an imperative, and it’s simply a matter of timing as to when the option is exercised.”

Our New Social Media Corner

COVID-19 has driven us all to become more digital and digitally aware. As a club, we are not able to meet at the Marriott each month making it even more important to stay networked by leveraging on-line technology and services. We even took our networking event of the year – The Annual Exchange – online on October 17th. 2020 and had record attendance!

To cope with the situation caused by COVID-19, here is what we are doing at AGBC:

Webinars – we do not want to stop connecting and having our monthly meetings, but again we now are going digital. Future meetings (until further notice) will be held online via Webinar.

AGBC Munich LinkedIn Pages – we are broadcasting news and events via LinkedIn. There have been posts about useful information sources during the pandemic as well as club news. If you have not already done so, we invite you to connect with us in two ways:

Members-Only Area: To serve the networking capabilities among club members, we have converted the existing LinkedIn presence to a members-only area. We heartily encourage our AGBC Munich members to join this group – you get visibility of other members and their profiles and can network within the group. Members can also use the group to post items of interest. Here’s the link where you can request to Members Page.

Follow Us Open Area: To serve both non-members and members, we have opened a new area where we broadcast news and information about events. By signing up to “follow” us, AGBC news will appear on your home page at LinkedIn. There is also a link to our website where you can register for events. The link to this page is here: Public Page.
