Our 40th anniversary gala night, marking the beginning of our successful journey in 1986, was celebrated in an unforgettable evening with the participation of our members and esteemed guests.
On this special evening, where we proudly commemorated our deep-rooted history and highlighted TÜGİAD’s global vision and future goals, our association's leadership role across Europe and the world was once again strongly emphasized.
In the speech delivered by the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Gürkan Yıldırım, TÜGİAD’s international representational power and influence were shared in detail—specifically focusing on the global network established through the China and USA branches, our YES for Europe Presidency, and our active participation in the G20 YEA Vienna Summit.
The night commenced with a musical feast by world-renowned qanun virtuoso Aytaç Doğan and reached its peak with a stage performance by Zeynep Bastık. As part of the program, plaques were presented to our esteemed sponsors who have contributed to the growth of our association, as well as to the newest members of the TÜGİAD family. We would like to thank all our valuable members and guests for joining us on this meaningful night.
