GlobalPittsburgh First Thursdays – Monthly Networking Happy Hour
GlobalPittsburgh First Thursdays is our organization’s signature networking event. These monthly happy hours are both informal social gatherings for globally-minded community members and a valuable means of developing contacts and forging friendships for newcomers to our region. First Thursdays is a monthly night of socializing where GlobalPittsburgh members and friends welcome State Department guests from abroad, international students, and expatriates from all over the world. It’s the easiest way to
experience the world without leaving Pittsburgh. Partnerships and sponsorships are available and everyone is welcome! 2020 First Thursdays are sponsored by UPMC and Portiuncula Foundation.
** In response to COVID-19, we are unable to bring you to an in-person happy hour at this time. However, our virtual activity is a fun way to raise support and continue our global programming for the community! This activity is for GlobalPittsburgh members, host families, and friends.
#GlobalBBQ
Every year, #GlobalBBQ brings together people from different cultural backgrounds to celebrate the common themes that unite us all: music, games, dancing, and most importantly, food! Every year is different, but the BBQ always includes great eats with various ethnic food trucks and caterers, live music, family activities, and a raffle with awesome prizes. Annual #GlobalBBQ has been generously supported by Delta.
**In response to COVID-19, #GlobalBBQ20, originally scheduled for June 20, 2020, has been rescheduled for summer of 2021.
