About the Event

Nowruz marks the arrival of spring and has been celebrated for more than 3,000 years across Iran and many parts of Central and West Asia. To recognize the occasion, the BPI EDII Committee invites our community to gather for a casual lunch meetup.

BPI brings together people from many cultures and traditions, and moments like this are a chance to share food, stories, and traditions while getting to know one another a little better. This gathering is also an opportunity to show care and support for colleagues who may be thinking about loved ones during a difficult time in Iran.

Join us for a relaxed lunch as we reflect on the spirit of Nowruz—renewal, resilience, and hope. Persian food and snacks will be provided, and those who celebrate Nowruz are warmly welcome to bring traditional delicacies to share.
