Citizen Diplomacy International is so excited to kick off the fall with September’s First Thursday at the Notary Hotel, formerly the Courtyard Marriott Downtown.

Our special September event is your chance to help welcome international students to Philadelphia. Our prestigious educational institutions including Drexel, LaSalle, Temple, and more will be representing their school spirit!

First Thursdays are fun and interesting monthly cocktail receptions where you can meet international business professionals, Sister City and State Department guests, foreign exchange students and new friends who share your love for travel. Each month, you visit a different center city restaurant, private club or hotel to experience the best of the international community in Philadelphia. You can practice language skills, make professional connections, and learn first-hand about what's happening internationally. To add to the fun, you can enter our card drop drawing to win treats, tickets, tours or dinner from our favorite Philly spots.
