“The intersection of art & technology has been and continues to emerge as a discipline which has strong roots in our region - industrially, academically and culturally. What we have unearthed here at the Council is just the beginning. In the coming months, we will explore this connection further and continue to forge the path worn by many others before us. The Council is here as a facilitator to serve all of you as we take the region towards its next reinvention.” :: Audrey Russo, President & CEO, Pittsburgh Technology Council
