Events
The PVCA offers a variety of dynamic networking, educational, finance and social outings throughout the year, from networking luncheons to the nationally renowned 3 Rivers Venture Fair. Members can attend these events at a discounted rate of admission.

NETWORKING LUNCHEONS & COMPANY SHOWCASE
Four times each year, PVCA members and guests meet at the Duquesne Club, one of the city’s most prominent private venues, for networking, lunch and a presentation by a guest speaker. Now for the first time, the Company Showcase, formerly held prior to each luncheon, will be a regular luncheon feature that will include a 15-minute presentation by a capital-seeking entrepreneur. The inclusion of the company showcase brings additional value and opportunities for attendees at these popular functions.

HOLIDAY GATHERING
New this year is the first-ever annual PVCA Holiday Party. Members and guests will enjoy cocktails, conversations and entertainment at historic Heinz Hall to celebrate the season with their PVCA friends and colleagues.

The Company Showcase is sponsored by Innovation Works
