What you can expect

When people’s perceptions of a place don’t match its reality, it helps to do more showing than telling. That’s the strategy of Visit Pittsburgh, the destination marketing organization tasked with replacing the old Steel Town image with the reality of an exciting urban city on the rise. Join Molly Allwein from Visit Pittsburgh and Amrita Gurney from CrowdRiff for a hands on session on using user-generated content in your blog, website, advertising and more, to transform people’s perceptions of your destination.
