SUMMARY:GBC Steering Committee Launch: BLocal
DESCRIPTION:GBC is working to operationalize BLocal\, a regional effort focused on better connecting employer demand and economic growth to stronger local hiring pathways for Baltimore residents. This kickoff conversation is an opportunity for employers — especially major employers with significant hiring needs — to engage early in shaping a more coordinated\, employer-informed workforce strategy for the region. \nAs the work evolves\, we are moving from discovery to action. Based on conversations with employers and workforce partners\, we will introduce three emerging strategy areas designed to reduce friction in the hiring process\, improve alignment between talent supply and employer demand\, and create clearer pathways into stable\, well-paying jobs. \nThis session will give participants a chance to: \n\n\nHear how BLocal has evolved and where the work is headed. \n\n\nLearn about the three emerging strategy areas. \n\n\nShare perspective on what would make workforce supports more useful\, responsive\, and easier to navigate for employers. \n\n\nExplore upcoming engagement opportunities for partners who want to help shape implementation. \n\n\nFor major employers\, this is a chance to be part of the solution early — helping define the workforce supports\, data tools\, and partnerships that can better meet real hiring needs across priority sectors. The goal is to build a more connected system that works better for employers and opens more pathways for Baltimore residents into quality jobs. \nThis kickoff meeting is open to both GBC partners and non-partners. Moving forward\, steering committee meetings will be limited to GBC partner organizations. \nIf you are interested in attending this kickoff meeting and learning more about becoming a GBC partner\, please contact partner@gbc.org.

SUMMARY:UpSurge Momentum: What Drives the Ecosystem Forward
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore’s innovation economy doesn’t move in a straight line. Every year\, we see breakthroughs and bottlenecks\, big exits and persistent gaps\, founders who landed the big win while others keep fighting for the resources to get there. UpSurge Baltimore takes a clear-eyed look at this state of affairs every year — and\, through all the change\, find plenty to celebrate. \nJoin us on May 19 for UpSurge Momentum\, our latest annual event at which we’ll highlight findings from the 2026 Greater Baltimore Ecosystem Report. Coming on the heels of the Greater Baltimore Committee’s State of the Region and Investment Summit events\, this convening will offer our most comprehensive look yet at the investment trends\, startup growth\, workforce dynamics\, and structural challenges shaping the region’s innovation future. \nBut data alone doesn’t move a region forward. Partnerships play an outsized role. \n\n\nThat thread runs through this year’s report — and it’s why we’ve partnered up with Flywheel\, the Locust Point-based marketing technology company whose trajectory tells you something important about what’s possible here. Acquired by communications giant Omnicom in 2023 for $835 million and working with major brands like Under Armour and McCormick\, Flywheel has built the kind of institutional relationships that turn promising startups into enduring companies. They’ll lead a hands-on workshop on leveraging AI to grow your business\, and join a conversation about what strategic partnership has done for them — and what it can unlock for you. \nWe’ll do all of this inside the Fearless Club at CFG Bank Arena— the premium lounge named for one of Baltimore’s tentpole startups\, inside another success story for downtown Baltimore’s commercial health.

SUMMARY:Inflection Point Healthcare Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Inflection Point Healthcare Summit brings together leaders across healthcare\, technology\, and policy to explore how value-based care and emerging technologies\, including Artificial Intelligence\, are transforming healthcare delivery. With Maryland’s all-payer model as a national testbed\, the summit will focus on how aligned incentives can drive innovation\, better outcomes\, and sustainable costs. \nMaryland is in the midst of the most substantial value-based care experiment in the country\, via its all-payer system. This economic model will fund AI and other innovative healthcare technology. As Maryland succeeds\, the rest of the country will follow. \nWhy Attend?\n\nFor Health System\, Health Plan\, and Clinical Leaders: The status quo in healthcare in not sustainable and the Maryland rate setting system creates unique challenges and opportunities. The inflection point summit is an opportunity to learn from your peers\, policy makers and innovators about pressures and opportunities to inform your plans for the months and years ahead.\nFor Policymakers: As representatives of patients and citizens\, this is a great opportunity to voice your positions – and pressures – to a curated audience of health system\, health plan\, business and technology leaders.\nFor Innovators: This is a unique opportunity to listen and learn about the challenges of enterprise customers and policy makers\, and about the unique opportunities afforded by the Maryland model.\n\nView Agenda >>
