2017 Hub + Spoke

Home 2017 Hub + Spoke

The Hub + Spoke event was a soft launch of The Switchboard Hub. Guests were invited to create physical mockups of profiles for themselves, and had the opportunity to explore a series of interactive experiences put on by partners from across Pittsburgh’s global engagement network.

Program of the day

Interactive (6:00pm)

Imagine pulling a website from the internet, and exploring it in real life! We’re transforming the Ace Hotel gymnasium into a physical representation of the digital hub, with six zones surrounding an open center, like spokes on a wheel. Signage at the entrance of each zone will describe key themes of global engagement, including:

We invite you to, eat, learn, and exchange ideas as you partake in the activities put on by partner organizations in each zone.

Formal Presentation (8:30pm)

Following the interactive portion of the event you will be invited to move from the gymnasium to the 2nd floor ballroom for a keynote address, from Aradhna Malhotra Oliphant, President and CEO of Leadership Pittsburgh Inc.

 The keynote will be followed by a short presentation from The Global Switchboard about the digital hub.

After Party (9:30pm)

Following the keynote address, the event will transition into a [ ] We Move style dance party! This party will feature [With Pandemic] We Move. Get on the dance floor! Enjoy drinks, music, and a good time!
