There’s a party going on in Pittsburgh this month.
GlobalPittsburgh will showcase the best and brightest with a month-long series of special events, a celebration of the region’s international roots as both a home to more than 50 international communities and 330 foreign-owned companies with 50,000 employees.
“All of these events in September represent the tip of iceberg of the Pittsburgh region’s international connections,” says Roger Cranville, a GlobalPittsburgh coordinator. “2008 is the year when Pittsburgh celebrates innovation, tech and global connections.”
The keynote event gets underway during Pennsylvania International Week with, on Sept. 9th, The Pittsburgh Council for International Visitors’ Bridge Awards Banquet, a gathering of some of the most prominent international companies in Pittsburgh who will welcome overseas trade and business representatives to the city.
