Looking back at 2025

In 2025, AACC Pacific Northwest focused on what it does best: connecting the Australia-U.S. community through business, culture and friendship.

The year featured well-attended social events like our Australia Day celebration, summer gatherings and Aussie movie screenings; our Anzac Day dawn ceremony, and professional networking opportunities in partnership with our corporate sponsors Microsoft and Amazon.

We also had the pleasure of hosting MBA students from the University of Western Australia (UWA), as well as co-hosting a Tourism Tasmania event here in Seattle.

AACC Pacific Northwest is continuing to grow our relationships with both Australia and U.S. government and business partners. The board had the pleasure of meeting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during his June trip to Seattle, as well as reconnecting with Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Kevin Rudd.

It was a busy year, and we were pleased to spend it with our members, partners and friends. Thank you for spending it with us, and we’ll see you in 2026!
