On 26 February 2026, the Armenian British Business Chamber (ABBC), in collaboration with Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan, hosted Thirsty Thursday at The Square. The evening brought together members of the ABBC community for relaxed networking and conversation, while also marking the welcoming of the Chamber’s newest Board Member, Yvo van Dijk, the newly appointed General Manager of Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan, succeeding Denis Laus.

The gathering provided an opportunity for members and partners to reconnect, strengthen professional relationships, and engage with the Chamber’s growing network in a welcoming setting.

Event Highlights

The evening featured several memorable moments that added to the lively and engaging atmosphere of the gathering.

A special welcome was extended to Yvo van Dijk as he joined the Board of the Armenian British Business Chamber.
