September 27-30, 2017
Are you looking fro the best Pittsburgh has to offer in technology, innovation and music?  Then the Thrival Innovation and Music Festival is the place you need to be in late September.  The festival consists of two parts - Innovation and Music and takes place at the historic Carrie Furnaces in Swissvale, Pennsylvania and throughout Pittsburgh's East End.

Thrival Innovation

"Thrival Innovation addresses key challenges and opportunities relevant to our local, national, and international ecosystems. It is part platform and part convening power. As a platform, Thrival Innovation offers unique, accessible, and thought-provoking programming that draws inspiration from Pittsburgh's fast-evolving startup landscape. It celebrates new ideas and examines pressing trends and developments. As a convening power, Thrival Innovation brings together industry experts, creatives, entrepreneurs, and the generally curious from around the world to explore pressing issues that affect us all."  

Thrival Music
"Music is a universal language that brings us together. As one of two key components of the Thrival Innovation + Music Festival, Thrival Music follows two days of innovation-focused programming (Thrival Innovation) and welcomes tens of thousands of festival goers for a unique live music experience. An extension of the pioneering ideas and creativity celebrated during Thrival Innovation, the festival's live music experience brings festival goers to a gritty, authentic, and one-of-a-kind Pittsburgh venue who then come together as a community. Thrival Music features a stark contrast of new sound and a rustic industrial setting with a penchant for creative placemaking, and dedicates itself to fostering a new sense of identity that respects the past and embraces the future. As a result, our community turned a mill back on, but instead of producing steel, we produce culture."
