In this position, Amanda will be advancing the Pittsburgh Business Show’s agenda of connecting businesses to people, resources, and products in the region. Her roles will include promoting exhibitor space, media connections, speaker presentations and workshops, and introducing sponsorships to the business audience in and around western Pennsylvania.

“I have always enjoyed building relationships with businesses throughout my career. As VP of Sales and Events, I‘m looking forward to helping the Pittsburgh Business Show grow this year and beyond.
