ORIENTATION PROGRAM FOR
DIPLOMATS

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TÜRKİYE AND TURKS IN 2 DAYS!

NOT ONLY POLITICS AND ECONOMY, BUT ALSO ESSENTIAL LIFE-HACKS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

%100 free attendance!

To live away from your home
is inconvenient.

Getting to know the culture you live in
is difficult.

Setting up a temporary new life with your family
is rough. ​

We know. We’ve been there!

That’s why we’ve come up with DiploFest.


An orientation program
presented only in English
by internationally acclaimed speakers.

(simultaneously translated to Arabic, French and Spanish)

Two days of orientation, fun, networking and socializing.

Every year, approximately 400 diplomats relocate to Türkiye from abroad and face challenges in adapting to Turkish culture, accessing public services, and establishing their daily routines. To address this situation, a free orientation program is planned for diplomats settling in Türkiye.

The program aims to facilitate cultural and social integration, provide solutions to everyday challenges, and create an effective communication network. With contributions from internationally renowned panelists, the program will foster a productive and enjoyable environment, strengthen diplomatic ties, and promote Türkiye and Turkish companies. 

Currently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have an orientation program for diplomats arriving from abroad, and there has never been a comprehensive program bringing together as many as 200 diplomats serving in Ankara.

Two days of orientation, information, networking, socializing & fun.

All for FREE!

DiploFest is %100 private initiative.
Governmental bodies have been cordially invited to participate as speakers.

This program is intended only for Diplomats and their families in Türkiye. Seats are limited, please register until February 15th to assure a smooth running program. Lunch will be served both days.
