- As of November 2012, IVC's monthly receptions enter their 13th year!
And they're STILL the friendliest receptions
& best networking - local and international
The first Thursday of each month
(except January & July)
First Thursdays are a monthly opportunity to welcome our guests to the U.S. & Philadelphia, practice your language skills, make new local friends and stay in touch with what's happening internationally. It's the easiest way to practice Citizen Diplomacy without leaving Philadelphia!

Citizen diplomacy engages citizens in international relations. Meeting counterparts and experiencing everyday American life provides an authentic & more accurate view of the "real" U.S.
