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. Redefining Industry is the BMI’s signature fundraising event and features elegant hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, musical entertainment, and a Stoop Storytelling performance. Funds raised directly support the museum’s mission to preserve Baltimore’s working history and engage the community through education and public programs.
