One thing we are excited about this month is the Professional Convention Management Association bringing more than 4,000 prospective meeting and event planners and industry professionals to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center for its annual conference. The Conference officially kicked off yesterday and attendees will be here until Wednesday. Many Downtown restaurants will be staying open later and opening on Monday, when they are usually closed – if you are in town consider grabbing a bite to eat!

This is an awesome opportunity for our city to shine. Showcasing Pittsburgh as an ideal meeting and convention destination can lead to many years of potential conference and trade show business. We thank the VisitPittsburgh staff for their dedicated work in marketing Pittsburgh to the world.
