Located at 59 S. 2nd Street in Pittsburgh, PA, The Distillery Complex blends historic charm with a modern twist. Originally home to Joseph S. Finch’s rickhouse in the late 1800s, the building has been thoughtfully preserved—its bones, structure, and character intact—while new construction has transformed it into a six-story playground.

The Distillery Complex

This isn’t just a venue.
For SponsorshipX, the Distillery Complex serves as our central gathering point, where keynotes, discussions, and small-group sessions unfold in a setting designed for conversation.

But the forum doesn’t live in a single room.

Throughout the week, select moments of SponsorshipX will extend across vibrant areas of Pittsburgh, allowing delegates to experience the city.

Read More About The Venue

We’ve secured hotel blocks in Pittsburgh for SponsorshipX delegates to ensure convenient access to the forum and surrounding NFL Draft activity.

Hotel blocks are available
April 21–23 (three nights inclusive).
