Connection for changemakers, at the Baltimore Museum of Industry.
Industry Social Club, presented by PNC, is a free, recurring after-hours networking event at the BMI for local professionals, creatives, and influencers. It’s all about helping people make those important connections that drive success, both individually and as a community.
Each month, we mix things up with interactive activities to spark new ideas, lively discussions to share insights, and workshops focused on specific topics or industries to help you build practical skills. Plus, we’ll have good music, a cash bar, and some tasty bites to keep the vibes chill and help everyone network and hang out.
We ensure our topics are current and relevant, examining trends that are shaping industries locally and nationally. We’re proud to cover a wide range of industries and backgrounds, including fashion, hospitality, healthcare, and important topics around the LGBTQIA+ community in the workforce. It’s all about creating a welcoming and enriching space for everyone to connect and thrive. We hope to see you this season!
