From the event link:
To celebrate the 50th anniversary — June 30, 2020 — current Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto and Alcoa Chairman Michael G. Morris will video chat, as their predecessors did a half century ago. We hope that you will join our livestream (10:15am ET) to reflect on this seminal event, which heralded a future of ubiquitous video calling and telecommuting that is mainstream today. Following the call, a panel of scholars from Carnegie Mellon University will host a live Q&A, discussing the history and legacy of the Picturephone's launch.
