What we do

We connect leaders to leaders, business to business, students to families, and, most importantly, humans to humans.

Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony
Sip. Savor. Celebrate.

Tickets start at $20 | Space is limited – registration required

‍Join us for a special cultural experience as we gather for an authentic Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony — a cherished tradition where community, hospitality, and storytelling come to life over freshly roasted coffee.

As the beans are roasted before your eyes and the scent of incense fills the air, you’ll be transported to the heart of Ethiopia. Enjoy traditional snacks, warm conversation, and the beauty of sharing a cup — or three — of coffee together.

This is more than a tasting. It’s a celebration.
‍
‍We can’t wait to welcome you.

Global Intersector is a series of events to connect Pittsburgh's local and international communities with visiting foreign delegates. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
