Building upon the incredible success of the past two years, The Baltimore Banner is honored to present Impact Maryland 2025 on October 14, 2025.

The immersive, one-day event will once again bring together our region’s visionary leaders to interact and present in meaningful ways with the most engaged thinkers in the community to foster innovative ideas and creative solutions to the most pressing issues facing our region.

Through inspirational keynotes, interactive panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and purposeful networking, Impact Maryland fosters the sharing of ideas and different perspectives to inspire a powerful vision of new opportunities moving forward. Transformative ideas are borne, discussed, nurtured and blossomed into future actions that promise to drive meaningful change for our communities.

We hope you will step away from your daily routines to come together in one place, for one day to be inspired, to challenge your thinking and participate in what promises to be the most impactful thought leadership event in the region.

As The Baltimore Banner continues to inform, strengthen, and inspire its local communities, Impact Maryland 2025 serves as its signature event giving rise to bold new ideas and solutions to help us all move Maryland forward together.
