At this week’s lunch meeting, we’ll be taking time to reflect on this year’s Taste of India Gala — what went well, what we learned, and how we can make it even better next year.
If you have any ideas, constructive feedback, or suggestions for future improvements, we’d love to hear from you! Whether it’s about planning, logistics, sponsorship, or the night itself — your input is valuable.
Let’s come together to celebrate a successful event and continue building on that momentum for next year!

Calgary
The 2025 convention theme is "Magic All Around," and from the moment you arrive, you'll feel it. The one-of-a-kind connections and friendships. The people with different backgrounds, experiences, and points of view. The energy of thousands of members with their spirits, hearts, and passions together in one place, creating lasting impact and changing the world. That's magic!
