The social aspect is one of the most fun parts of an FGS National Conference – a chance to connect with friends, both old and new. This year’s conference offers two special events with ample time for networking and socializing.
Gateway Clipper Dinner Cruise
Wednesday Evening – 6:00 P.M. – 9:30 P.M.
Sponsored and hosted by Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society
Join the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society on board the Gateway Clipper Princess for a dinner cruise along Pittsburgh’s three rivers.
The Princess is a traditional paddle wheel style riverboat with floor to ceiling windows giving passengers a great view of the beautiful Pittsburgh skyline and the magnificent architecture of its many bridges. A delicious buffet dinner will be served as we cruise the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers.
For your convenience, the Gateway Clipper Princess will pick up at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Boarding will begin at 6:00 p.m. and we will depart the dock at 6:30 p.m. The cruise will end by 9:30 p.m. with everyone returned to the dock at the convention center.
Secure your seat on the Gateway Clipper Dinner Cruise when you register for the FGS 2017 conference.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs Cincinnati Reds
The Pittsburgh Pirates are in town during the conference with games vs the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, September 1 and Saturday, September 2. FGS is partnering with the Pirates to offer discounted tickets to conference attendees!
Stay after the game on Friday for a spectacular Zambelli Fireworks show.
On Saturday, pick up your free Pirates t-shirt if you are one of the first 20,000 fans.
Available tickets will be in a block so other conference attendees may be in the general area but to ensure seating together, purchase tickets as one order.
You are on your own for purchasing tickets and transportation to and from PNC Park.
