Whenever we arrange professional itineraries, networking events, homestays, or hospitality dinners that bring together Pittsburgh’s globally-minded community and international leaders, the conversations that follow can be transformational. With your support, misconceptions are shattered, perspectives are exchanged, opportunities for future travel are initiated, friendships are nurtured, and new ideas for businesses are launched.
There are many ways to get involved with GlobalPittsburgh's work, from social to professional activities. Our existing collaboration opportunities are listed below, but we are always looking to connect with the Pittsburgh and international communities in new ways. If you have a new idea, email us at [email protected] to see what we can accomplish together.
Become a GlobalPittsburgh Member
What are the benefits of membership?
GlobalPittsburgh members receive: - complimentary admission to Global Intersector events with visiting international leaders; - complimentary tickets to cultural performances; - opportunities for professional engagement with foreign leaders; - marketing opportunities, and more! We extend membership to our host families and professionals who meet with visitors.
Become a professional resource for international visitors
What is a professional resource?
A professional resource is an expert in their sector, interested in engaging with visiting international leaders in similar sectors. We typically ask professional resources to participate in a one-hour conversation with visiting leaders, in which they can share their experience and also learn from and ask questions to the group. While brief presentations may aide in explaining your work, these meetings are designed to flow like a conversation, not a lecture, and hopefully will be mutually beneficial for both our Pittsburgh network and international guests.
Host an event or reception for international visitors
What kind of events and receptions are intended?
When international delegations visit our region, we want them to experience the rich culture, welcoming nature, and diversity of assets that our region has to offer. If you believe that your business or organization could help create this experience, we would love to hear from you! This could include community networking events, dinners or lunches, excursions, art classes, recreational activities. These events are unique opportunities to engage with the international community while also promoting your work.
