All meetings are held at the Duquesne Club in downtown Pittsburgh. The programs start at 11:00 a.m., allowing 45 minutes for company showcase and one-half hour for networking with lunch served promptly at 12:15 p.m.

COMPANY SHOWCASE - Sponsored by Alpern Rosenthal and Innovation Works
 
Prior to each luncheon at 11:00 a.m.,  two capital-seeking companies selected by a volunteer committee of experienced investors will make 15-minute presentations to PVCA members and invited guests.  A brief question and answer period will follow each presentation.  Nominated companies will represent the software, life sciences, advanced materials and other technology industry sectors.  The Company Showcase portion of the event will conclude at 11:45 a.m.
