Visit VisitPittsburgh’s new booth and planners will be "Saving the Planet, One Meeting at a Time."

VisitPittsburgh has unveiled its new tradeshow booth which reinfornces the CVB’s 2008 "green" campaign, the booth's message— "Saving the Planet, One Meeting at a Time." For meeting planners, Pittsburgh’s Gold LEED  Certified David L. Lawrence Convention Center—enables them to by definition conduct a "green" convention for their organizations. "We are very excited about the fact that our booth sends such a positive message about the growing green initiative our city continues to build," said Jason Fulvi, Executive Director of Convention Sales. "At VisitPittsburgh, we're committed to creating initiatives that work in concert with the environment."

The 20' x 20' flexible trade booth can become 10' x 10,' making it easily transferable to small and large industry events. The David L. Lawrence Convention Center is the largest Gold LEED certified convention center in the world. Pittsburgh is also ranked number three for the highest number of green buildings in a city.

The VisitPittsbugh Team is greening the meetings industry in their new Trade Show booth, which markets the city green credentials.
