Pittsburgh

Join us in the City of Bridges for our 2027 Annual Conference!

We're headed to Pittsburgh, the early-20th century industrial capital known for its dominant role in the history of the U.S. steel industry. These days, the "Steel City" is also known for its cultural institutions and its focus on healthcare, education, and technology.

Our conference will be held at Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown, which is at the nexus of Pittsburgh's famed three rivers. It's your gateway to the city's distinctive landscape, accessible parks and walkways, renowned arts, entertainment and sports community, and proud cultural heritage. Featuring fantastic views of the city, it is also close to public transportation.

Dining options on-site include Ground Stop, which features Starbucks products, and the Three Rivers Restaurant, an upscale eatery.

APPE Conference goers can take advantage of a special rate of $199/night. [INFO COMING SOON.] Please let them know you are with the APPE annual conference to receive the conference rate.
