The American Society of Barcelona (ASB) functions as a non-political and non-profit organization and strives to be the focal point for people who are interested in developing and maintaining business and social relationships in an international environment. Since its founding in 1974, the American Society has grown, thrived and evolved due to the diversity of its members, who come from many countries and are engaged in a wide variety of professions. This diversity has become one of the most exciting elements of the organization as it continues to grow. The membership of the American Society of Barcelona is a wonderful mixture of nationalities; we are about half American and half European, the largest group of Europeans being Catalan. What draws most people to our organization is a desire to be involved in the English speaking community of Barcelona, both for social interaction and business networking. We sponsor a variety of gatherings throughout the year such as business luncheons, cultural outings, traditional American and local events and celebrations, informative speeches and much more. Whether for business or social occasions the American Society provides an excellent opportunity to be involved in the English speaking community of Barcelona; it’s a great meeting point and resource for all people.
