Each year for The Diplomat, Hartford rolls out the red carpet to welcome dozens of diplomats from around the world to our state’s capital.
Connecticut is a global state, and this evening is a testament to the strength of our international connections.
Hartford’s most anticipated global event is an opportunity to connect, network, and meet a new global connection among Connecticut’s diplomatic corps and business, government, and community leaders.
THE DIPLOMAT
On June 9, 2026, we welcomed the world to Hartford at the Diplomat x Luminary Award. Diplomats from 35 nations joined us alongside Connecticut business, civic, and community leaders from across the region, for an evening of diplomacy, dialogue, and global connection as we presented the Luminary Award to Karl Krapek for global impact.
