Welcome to Pittsburgh! What do you want to do first? Not sure yet? Well what about plans for tomorrow? …Well you still have time to decide… Where are you staying? You haven't booked a hotel yet?!?!
Pittsburgh is not what was expected. Incredible architecture in canyons of concrete, steel and glass; blending historic with the current and creating open squares and markets where people gather for live music, fellowship and camaraderie. River walk stretches, beckoning you to splendid water's edge as sunsets color the sky and water and ease the mind.

We have regular attendees to this yearly meeting, but....we exceeded our numbers by 60! We heard comments such as.."It's so clean!", "it's such a surprisingly beautiful city!". Our attendees go where the meeting is, but over half stayed at least an extra day! We had our field trip to Heinz Field, Carnegie Science Center and the the Strip District and all went back a second time!! Dinner boat cruise was great and that also encouraged additional tourism! By the end of the event, everyone was asking when we were hosting it again!

The David L. Lawrence Convention Center staff was outstanding, especially our event manager, Jennifer Tadler. Nothing got in the way of her commitment to our group. She was amazing. And we had great service from the VisitPittsburgh information booth staff. They were very busy each day, helping our attendees with questions about Pittsburgh. They always had smiles on their faces.

VisitPittsburgh and the staff were so helpful throughout the process of selecting the site right through our event. Our conference attendees were very pleased with he convention center - the spacious meeting rooms, its proximity to everything and especially the gorgeous view of the river from outside our exhibit hall. The on-site help that VisitPittsburgh provided our attendees was also invaluable.

Pittsburgh is a city that did not come to mind when considering locations for InSight's annual conference, but it turned out to be the perfect fit! Exhibitors were happy, housing was full, the locals were nice and the food was delicious! This city not only made us feel welcome and valued, but it also went above and beyond to ensure all logistics went smoothly throughout the duration of the program. Working with the bureau and the convention center has been seamless, and an enjoyable experience. Pittsburgh is walkable, friendly, green and a great choice for this conference. The city of Pittsburgh has a lot to offer as a destination for conventions.
