On September 22, 2009, in the lead-up to the real Pittsburgh G-20 Summit, welcoming the world's top political leaders to our city and their efforts to fix the global economy, we hosted a different summit: The Pittsburgh G-20 Beer Summit

This was a fun networking event that allowed our region's young professionals to gather together and sample some of the world's finest beers.  And the event got international press as you will see from the short video below (there was even a special on one of China's top television stations about the summit and it was apparently the "top story" for their on-line users that day.  We hope you will join us for similar events in the future.

For 78 years, the World Affairs Council has been convinced that Americans need to understand a world that looks to them for leadership.  The Council's programs are designed primarily for Council members, students, teachers, and guests.  We have a wide range of programs that enable people from all walks of life to engage in the world around them.  From students to young professionals, top executives to new arrivals in our community, there is a program for you.  The diverse program formats are outlined on the left side of this page (in blue).  Please feel free to explore each page to learn more about each program type and which one meets your needs best.  

Our upcoming programs are always listed on the homepage of our web site, so we encourage you to visit that page for specific information about our programs.  Please note that reservations are required for most Council programs and we ask that you contact us directly if you have any questions. Please email or call 412-281-7970.
