Get ready to get fancy — the Pittsburgh Business Exchange Awards Dinner is one of the biggest nights for recognizing the boldest, smartest, and most inspiring business leaders across the city.
Held at the stunning Pittsburgh Convention Center, it’s a night full of excitement, champagne clinks, and a whole lot of Pittsburgh pride.
Whether you’re attending to support a colleague, network, or just soak in the inspiring energy, this is a night that’s bigger than just business — it’s about the community we’re building here.
What to expect:
- Cocktail hour with some of the best schmoozing and people-watching you’ll get all year.
- A gorgeous seated dinner (wear something you feel great in — there will be photographers).
- Award presentations that genuinely inspire you to level up your own goals.
Local Tip for Post-Dinner Drinks: If you want to keep the celebration going after the formal stuff wraps, pop over to Bridges & Bourbon on Penn Ave — it’s a sleek spot known for inventive cocktails that feel special (try the lavender old fashioned!).
Dress Code Reminder: Definitely go business formal or better. Pittsburgh is chill about a lot of things — this dinner is not one of them.
Where to stay: No need to Uber back to the suburbs or overpay for a cramped room at a convention hotel. Rivers and Steel City Homes offers stylish, affordable spaces just minutes away. Full kitchens for that midnight snack run, cozy living areas to kick off your dress shoes, and enough space to unwind without feeling like you’re still “on.” 🥂✨
