• The G20 summit took place at Pittsburgh's David L.
Lawrence Convention Center on September 24–25,
2009.[1] In response to the Global credit crisis, a
G20 summit in one year was proposed shortly after
the London summit in April 2009. Announced shortly
after the G-20 London summit, U.S. President Barack
Obama volunteered to host this summit, initially
planning to hold it in New York City and coordinating
it with the opening of the United Nations General
Assembly. However, due to coordination issues, on
May 28, 2009, the Obama Administration announced a
change of venue to Pittsburgh in order to highlight
the city's economic recovery following the collapse of
its manufacturing sector in the latter half of the
20th century.
