Thank you for attending the 2025 Champagne Luncheon & Alumni Connection Event!
Event Details
Leadership Pittsburgh Inc.’s Annual Champagne Luncheon and Alumni Connection Event occurs in January each year, hosting nearly 400 of Pittsburgh’s movers and shakers including business, philanthropic, and public sector leaders in attendance.
The luncheon has proven to be a great opportunity for established and emerging leaders to connect with each other while reaffirming their commitment to the region and passion for leading. Past Champagne Luncheons have been marked by a sense of great energy and inspiring remarks by the County Executive and City of Pittsburgh Mayor.
The Aradhna Award, established in 2023 to honor a LPInc. Alum who has made significant contributions to Southwestern Pennsylvania, is also presented at the annual event.
