The Waves of Change STEM Conference is proud to call Baltimore home. Known for its rich maritime history and vibrant waterfront, Baltimore offers a blend of culture, innovation, and charm. The city’s iconic Inner Harbor features historic landmarks like Fort McHenry—birthplace of the national anthem—as well as attractions such as the USS Constellation and the National Aquarium. From local seafood to lively neighborhoods, Baltimore is a dynamic backdrop for connection and discovery.
The Baltimore Convention Center is the premier location in the mid-Atlantic region for organizations to host conventions, meetings, banquets, trade shows, and other events. With 300,000 square feet of contiguous exhibition space, approximately 85,000 square feet of meeting space (50 meeting rooms), and a multifunctional 36,672-square-foot ballroom, the Center has the capacity and flexibility for hosting a variety of professional events.
Since opening its doors in August of 1979, the Center has been the catalyst for economic growth and tourism in the region. Construction of the Baltimore Convention Center preceded Harborplace and the National Aquarium making it the crowned jewel in the redevelopment of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The addition of the facility bolstered tourism and its success spurred growth for other projects from retail to restaurants and attractions. These elements have added to the appeal of Baltimore as a popular destination.
