2nd Annual Summit, “Into the Depths: Exploring this Global Moment”
SEP 28, 2021 12:00 AM - 11:59 PMThis year, the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh is excited to be hosting our second annual virtual summit “Into the Depths: Exploring this Global Moment,” which coincides with the celebration of our 90th anniversary! The theme for the summit this year centers around diving deeper into important issues by bringing back some of the speakers and organizations we featured this year that resonated with our audience, and welcoming new speakers with unique perspectives we are excited to hear from for the first time.
Our four days will include an opening keynote address followed by distinct programming that will highlight one of the Council’s core global issues series from the past year: Human Rights, Resiliency, Youth, Immigration, and Governance & Diplomacy.
