The 2025 Baltimore Together Summit is set for October 27, 2025, at the M&T Bank Exchange, located at 401 W. Fayette St. in downtown Baltimore. This marks the fourth annual summit organized by the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC) and aims to unite city leaders, business owners, community partners, and residents to celebrate economic progress and strategize for the city’s future. The specific focus for this year’s summit is on building an inclusive economy by closing racial wealth gaps and investing in underserved communities.
The summit is a crucial component of Baltimore’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. Attendees can expect a presentation of a 2025 Progress Report alongside an updated Implementation Matrix, outlining the milestones achieved since the last summit. The event is designed to emphasize intentional inclusion in economic opportunities, as highlighted by city officials.
The opening day will feature three panel discussions dedicated to addressing Baltimore’s economic progress and the implementation of growth strategies. Notable speakers at the summit will include Mayor Brandon Scott, Affan Sheikh from Hayat Brown, MacKenzie Garvin from the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development, Eivind Dueland from Amber Infrastructure, and Augie Chiasera from M&T Bank. These discussions aim to foster dialogue on the city’s development and future economic strategies.
Throughout the week of the summit, a series of workshops will be conducted across various neighborhoods, covering vital topics such as community investment and support for local businesses. These workshops aim to further engage the community and address key drivers of Baltimore’s economy.
Last year’s summit was a significant success, attracting over 1,100 attendees and 815 livestream participants. The event is supported by several prominent sponsors, including Bloomberg Philanthropies, CFG Bank, M&T Bank, BGE, Johns Hopkins University, and T. Rowe Price.
