In 2023, our multi-platform event took place at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA, and featured an impressive exhibit hall experience. A total of 65 exhibitors exhibitors participated in this dynamic exhibit hall, with 60 on-site exhibitors and two Pittsburgh local vendors, in addition to five fully virtual exhibitors on the GA App powered by Whova. 2023 GA attracted a total of 4,144 attendees, including 2,374 in-person participants and 1,770 virtual attendees.
The Exhibit Hall Floorplan was spacious to accomodate our 59 in-person exhibitors. Guests were invited to create a flower in the Church Mutual Creative Lounge, recharge mobile devices in the Starr King Lounge, and enjoy fresh daily lunch and dinner selections prepared by Levy Catering.
The exhibit hall served as the centerpiece for networking and exploration at GA. It also played host to the highly attended Side For Love rally. The exhibit hall was a hub of activity, where attendees had the opportunity to engage with exhibitors and participate in various exciting programs and events.
