  Come join us at Poros In Market Square and support American Cancer Society (ACS) as they complete the Relay for Life of Downtown Pittsburgh.

  The American Cancer Society funds groundbreaking research, crucial patient care programs, and education and prevention information. We are suggesting a $10 (cash) donation at the door with 100% of donations going directly to ACS.

  Along with your donation, you will be able to participate in the ACS Butterfly campaign, where you can write the name of someone who has been affected by cancer and these butterflies will be displayed throughout the year at ACS events.

  We look forward to seeing you there!

  Light appetizers will be provided.

  You've seen their self-driving cars all around Pittsburgh, but why did Uber choose Pittsburgh as the birthplace for their self-driving cars? What impact will the self-driving technology have on the way our world moves?

  Join Pittsburgh Young Professionals for our PYP Talks with Eric Meyofer, Head of Uber's Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) in Pittsburgh PA, as he addresses these questions and more.

  Eric Meyhofer is the Head of Uber's Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) in Pittsburgh PA. Having spent 11 years at Carnegie Mellon Universities Robotics Institute, as a Special Faculty member with a focus on commercializing technology, he has founded several companies. These technology companies span various robotics fields, from 3D mapping of underground mines (Mine Vision Systems, Inc.) to companies that use high power lasers to autonomously de-coat F-16 fighter jets (Titan Robotics, Inc.). However, it is one of his early startups, Carnegie Robotics, LLC., that helped pave the way to landing Uber in Pittsburgh.

  What is Uber ATG?
  Uber ATG is the hub where Uber’s engineering team dedicated to self-driving technologies, mapping, and vehicle safety, operate. This team is responsible for developing long-term technologies that advance Uber’s mission of bringing safe, reliable transportation to everyone, everywhere.

  Light appetizers and beverages will be served

  Have you been wanting to try Yoga? Or maybe you’re already a yogi…either way, this is the perfect opportunity to get moving with some fellow PYP members during a 1-hour private yoga class at Local Motion PGH. Yoga will start at noon, and the best part, the class is followed by beer tasting at Voodoo Brewery. At the conclusion of yoga, we will walk over to Voodoo Brewery to enjoy our tasty beers.

  Just $20 (or $35 if you are not a PYP member) gets you the 1-hour yoga class, plus four 6 oz beer samples and light appetizers. Additional brews and food will be available for purchase.

  Metered parking is available outside of Local Motion and within walking distance to Voodoo. Yoga mats are available at the studio if you do not have your own. See you there!

  PS: if yoga isn't your thing, you're welcome to join us at Voodoo after. Attendees just attending the brewery will be responsible for their own beverages. Just attending Voodoo will be free for members and $15 for non-members.
