Building Baltimore’s Future: What Do We Need Now?
Building Baltimore’s Future: What Do We Need Now?
A cross-sector conversation on possibility, connection, and collective action.
Baltimore is rich in culture, creativity, talent, and vision. As we face complex challenges, what does Baltimore need now... to heal, to thrive, and to build a future we can all be proud of?
Join us for an evening of energizing dialogue and connection across sectors. You’ll engage with fellow innovators, changemakers, artists, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, educators, and neighbors to explore the strengths we can build on, the possibilities we want to pursue, and the partnerships that can move us forward.
Together, we’ll also help shape the direction of the new Monthly Innovation eXchange (MIX) series launching this fall on first Wednesdays at 4MLK, bringing fresh voices, bold ideas, and new energy to Baltimore’s innovation community.
This isn’t a panel, it’s an active space for conversation, imagination, and new connections.

What is MIX?
The Monthly Innovation eXchange (MIX) is launching on September 3 at 4MLK and will take place on the 1st Wednesday of each month.
MIX is a monthly gathering designed to spark collaboration, share ideas, and strengthen our innovation community. People from startups, industry, nonprofits, academia, government, creatives, entrepreneurs, researchers, civic leaders, and ecosystem partners come together to explore a rotating theme through lightning talks, small-group conversations, and informal networking. Whether you're launching a new venture, driving scientific discovery, or building community infrastructure, MIX is a space to connect, learn, and grow - together. Enjoy happy hour bites, meaningful dialogue, and the chance to get inspired by others shaping the future in and around our region.
Stay tuned for details on our MIX Launch on September 3rd!
