Visiting Pittsburgh

Abstractions draws a national and international crowd of software professionals. Pittsburgh is a city full of activity and events for a diverse set of interests.

Getting here

Flying. You’ll want to fly into PIT and ensure that your Pittsburgh destination has an ‘h’ and is in Pennsylvania and not California.

Train. The Capitol Express is a common route between Chicago and Washington, D.C. on which Pittsburgh is a stop.
