Pittsburgh entrepreneurs gathered to learn about developing succession plans at yesterday's conference hosted by CGM and the @PittTweet Business School.
Attendees heard from @erikastrassbrgr and participated in breakout sessions ranging from building business resilience to employee ownership transitions.
@CoreyOConnorPA captured the spirit of the day well in his keynote:
"By coming here, you were providing an opportunity for local residents who may have never sought it before. And I think that’s the mindset—Pittsburgh is ready to grow."

Pitt Day of Giving is tomorrow.
We explore how people come together to solve problems, drawing on a global network of scholars and policymakers to respond to crises and support partners facing violence and repression. How we work matters as much as what we study: civil discourse, value pluralism, and serious engagement across differences are at the core of everything we do.
Please consider making a gift today to protect threatened scholars, provide students with hands-on research experience, and expand programs that model the principled debate our world needs more of.
