Formerly home of our domestic steel industry, Pittsburg is now a 21st century high-tech city. Come for the conference, stay for a vacation. There is LOTS to see and do in the city and surround region! You can get some great ideas on planning your pre/post conference stay at http://www.visitpittsburgh.com. We'll feature some ideas in future notices. So, if you haven't registered yet... what ARE you waiting for! http://www.alliancecm.org See you in Pittsburgh! Deborah S. Vinsel, Co-chair
