Redefining Industry
May 5 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Redefining Industry recognizes and celebrates extraordinary individuals who are pointing the way to a positive future for Baltimore. Honorees’ work is grounded in the region’s impressive and complex industrial past and yet it is thoroughly modern. With creativity, commitment, and grit, they are contributing to the economic and social vibrancy of Baltimore and beyond.
Join us on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 from 5:30 to 8:00 PM as we honor five inspiring innovators. Enjoy elegant hors d’oeuvres & cocktails, live music, and a Stoop Storytelling performance featuring our honorees. The Redefining Industry event provides essential support for the BMI’s programs and exhibitions.
