Mr. Diaa Hammad, the Second Secretary from the Egyptian Embassy in Tel Aviv and  President of DATA, (Diplomatic Association Tel Aviv) initiated the event along with Tali Farkas from the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzilya: Mr. Farkas is a student of government diplomacy and strategy.

 

The concept behind the evening, as put forth by Mr. Diaa Hammad, was for the diplomatic core in Tel Aviv to get together in casual circumstances and "have fun."

The IDC (Interdisciplinary Center) students who volunteered in helping design the event were enthused to participate, due to data being such a respected platform in which to network with diplomats while learning some of the nuances about the various diplomatic corps.

 

Just as the dress-code of the event was casual, so was the atmosphere. Clearly, the evening was a success with the contingent of dignitaries in attendance as the relaxed atmosphere dictated that the evening would be centered around a tranquil night at the movies without having to focus on the usual issues parlayed at diplomatic events.
