Book of Lists Reception - 1/25/10

At the Pittsburgh Business Times’ 2010 Book of Lists reception, 525 Pittsburgh business owners from every local industry were mixing, mingling, and making contacts with other professionals throughout the city. Along with a silent auction that benefited the American Heart Association, the event featured a caricature artist and autograph signings with former and current Pittsburgh Steelers Louis Lipps and Deshea Townsend. Ford Business Machines and Benchmark Financial Network sponsored the event and the Pittsburgh Business Times invited businesses and professionals featured on its 2009 lists. “We got a lot of really good feedback from the event,” says event organizer Michelle Bronda. “People were really excited to meet people they thought they would never get to meet!” Photography by Megan Wylie
