Pupin Gala Ball 2026

15. Oct 2026.
For the second consecutive year, the Pupin Gala Ball 2026 was held at the Residence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia in Washington, D.C., continuing the tradition of bringing together students and alumni from four prestigious American schools of international affairs: Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service, American University’s School of International Service, Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, and George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs. We were particularly pleased to welcome students from Gallaudet University among this year’s guests.

This year’s gala held special symbolic significance. Together with young people, including future leaders in American diplomacy and foreign policy, we commemorated the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America, connecting the rich legacy of Serbian-American relations with the generations that will shape their future. That is precisely why the Pupin Gala Ball represents more than just a celebration. It is an investment in the future of Serbian-American friendship. We extend our special thanks to the private companies whose support and contributions helped ensure the successful organization of this year’s gala and continue the tradition of bringing together young people who represent the future of American diplomacy and international relations.
