SAVE THE DATE for Emerald Evening! 

Join us on May 14, 2026, for Emerald Evening, a night of unmatched networking, delicious food and drinks, and a celebration of the people and projects that are transforming our region. 

This year’s Emerald Evening gala will be set amidst the ornate elegance of the Union Trust Building. One of Pittsburgh’s most iconic spaces, this beautiful building has been carefully restored in a way that preserves its rich history while embracing modern efficiencies. 

GBA’s signature event, Emerald Evening annually attracts more than 300 of the region’s most dedicated and respected leaders in sustainable design and construction, research, innovation, and community development. 

Throughout the night, we will honor the inspiring work of awardees in multiple categories, enjoy the architectural splendor of the space, and celebrate the achievements and progress of the more than 500 buildings committed to the Pittsburgh 2030 District.

Emerald Evening sells out each year – be sure to secure your tickets early for this memorable event!
