2026 Accelerate Maryland Economic Forum

May 13, 2026 7:30 AM - 11:15 AM (EDT)

Description

Join business and policy leaders for a forward-looking conversation about the decisions shaping Maryland’s business climate, what recent legislative sessions signal for the future and how the business community can help strengthen the conditions for growth.

This forum marks the transition from legislative session to economic future. Rather than revisiting every bill, it clarifies what recent decisions signal about Maryland’s competitive trajectory — and what business leaders must prioritize to strengthen Maryland’s long-term economic growth potential. Your sponsorship fuels the discussions on shaping a more unified, business-led framework that can guide advocacy, investment and engagement in the year ahead.
