UMA’s 2023 Gathering: Baltimore

>>> Registration is OPEN! Click here to register! <<<

Tuesday, October 10th through Thursday, October 12th.

In partnership with Made in Baltimore and Coppin State University’s Center for Strategic Entrepreneurship, we are thrilled to be convening our network in Baltimore City.

This year our Gathering will be even more centered in place and even more interactive.

We will have two mornings of programming, followed by “choose your own adventure” afternoons filled with tours, workshops… or maybe a stroll by the Chesapeake Bay. Sprinkled in between will be happy hours and lunches… plenty of time to do what we love most about our Gatherings: meet and learn from each other. We will also have a specific track for folks new to our network, so we can do an introductory dive into why manufacturing is an equitable economic development strategy. Maybe you’d want to come to brush up!

If you want to see what our Gatherings are like, read our 2022 Houston Gathering report. You’ll quickly see the variety of practitioners, businesses, themes, and ideas that you — our network — bring to the table.

Much like other years, we would also like to invite you to help us design our programming. If you have an idea for a workshop that you’d like to host (maybe you want to explain how other places could replicate one of your programs or you have a piece of technology or learning to engage others), we invite you to submit your idea here. We will be working with our Local Host Committee to select activities from which attendees can design their own agendas.

If you haven’t been to our Gatherings before, check out some photos below and watch a video!

We look forward to seeing you in Charm City in October.
