Liquid Knowledge: The NPC Debrief on How Water Matters! and What You Can Do – June ’10
Hosts: Global Solutions Pittsburgh, Green Building Alliance and Pittsburgh WED Partnership
We set out to educate and engage our network in the issues discussed at the World Environment Day (WED) Water Matters! Global Water Conference. A savvy group gathered at Bricolage to get short recaps of the conference’s three panels from young professionals who attended them; catch the premiere of the official Water Matters! video before it went public; discuss what can be done to help address water-related challenges affecting the Pittsburgh region; and enjoy the high-energy, high-impact networking for which NPC events are quickly becoming known!

Pittsburgh merged its right and left brains at this unique event produced by two unlikely partners who came together to Break the Rules with NPC and the help of Deeplocal CEO, artist and “deviant” Nathan Martin at the Cabaret at Theatre Square on Monday, October 26. This creative conversation was thought-provoking and fun, drawing a diverse group of 65+ people. Bonus attractions were the made-on-the-spot business card sculpture and some really good raffle prizes. Download a copy of Nathan Martin’s presentation.
