35th Annual Ambassadors Ball Will Celebrate a Knight in Kazakhstan

On February 21, 2026, the Republic of Kazakhstan will serve as the Host Country for the Diplomatic Corps of Arizona 35th Ambassadors Ball, under the theme “A Knight in Kazakhstan.” This year’s celebration pays tribute to Kazakhstan’s storied legacy of steppe warriors and its noble horse culture—honoring values of courage, loyalty, and diplomacy. Guests will experience an immersive evening of cultural richness, complete with traditional music, culinary delights, and symbolic motifs that reflect the grandeur of Kazakh history. The evening will bring together ambassadors, consuls general, and global leaders for one of Arizona’s most distinguished diplomatic traditions.

Proceeds from the 35th Ambassadors Ball will benefit scholarships for students at Arizona State University’s Thunderbird School of Global Management, supporting the next generation of global leaders. The event is proudly guided by the 2026 Host Committee: Chair Hugh Hallman, Honorary Consul of Kazakhstan in Arizona; Vice Chair Oskar Jonsson, Honorary Consul of Iceland in Arizona; and Vice Chair Tina Waddington.

We invite you to join us for this exceptional evening of diplomacy, culture, and purpose.
