To attract international visitors to the Greater Pittsburgh Region with the intent of engaging them with individuals and organizations and retaining longstanding relationships with bilateral impact.
The Pittsburgh Council for International Visitors dba GlobalPittsburgh was in the midst of an active programming year during fiscal year 2019-2020 when in-person exchange programing was paused by the U.S. Department of State as of March 11, 2020 through the remainder of the fiscal year. As a result of the pause, 15 programs scheduled during the fiscal year were canceled, nine of which were International Visitor Leadership Program (IVP) projects. During the fiscal year, the organization designed and implemented 16 itineraries for 130 participants in the IVLP, including three itineraries focusing on each of the topics of energy, cybersecurity, and government accountability, in addition to projects examining promoting social change through the arts, city planning, and education in the digital age. The organization arranged programming for an additional 116 international emerging leaders participating in five federally or privately funded projects. More than 234 regional professionals met with their international peers during 116 meetings arranged by the organization.
