It’s finally upon us: Baltimore Innovation Week 2019 is underway, with a full work week of highlighting the local tech and  entrepreneurship community, with plenty of chances to learn along the way.

Following up on last week’s look at the first half of the programming, we’re taking a little time on Monday morning to circle some key events that will bring us home through October 11.

Here’s a look at the schedule for track days including Dev, Business and Access:

Wednesday, October 9: Dev 

A full-day series of talks, showcases and awards offers a showcase for the new products and companies that are growing in the city.

Hosted at 1100 Wicomico, the Pigtown building’s team is joining forces with Harbor Designs and Manufacturing to organize Dev day, running from 8:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Events are taking place in a 46,000-square-foot space on the eighth floor of the building, which has a unique place bridging Baltimore’s entrepreneurial past, and future.

To begin the day, a pair of talks presented by Canton software development consultancy SmartLogic will feature a look at the programming language React Native and a software development apprenticeship program.

That’s followed up with a look at starting a company and finding customers from Startup Grind Columbia CEO Chris Haug and Whitebox Chief Revenue Officer Danielle Repetti.

Moving into midday the maker movement takes center stage.

Thursday, October 10: Business

ETC, the organizer of the week, plays host to a full day of events on the ins and outs of building a business.

It starts at 8:30 a.m. with a discussion from Founders Approach about the future of coworking: travel.

For those seeking federal funding to bring research to a company, ETC will also lead discussions about writing Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposals. Another highlight of the morning is the discussion of CRM and loyalty marketing, as Response Labs explores case studies and stories from marketing and biz pros.

Thoughts turn global in the afternoon, as the ETC teams with U.S. Commercial Service Maryland and Global Innovation Forum to discuss some simple steps startups can take to move into an international market. Sessions will focus on recognizing opportunities, regulations and how to interact with government.

Following these events, there will be a business day networking and happy hour event at ETC.

The day closes with Startup Grind Baltimore, as a panel takes on the topic of becoming an entrepreneur. Hear from Moxie Promotion owner Laura Gaworecki, SpotWash cofounder Mike LaRoque, Bee Well Living cofounder Steve Bumbry and OVFX owner (and former Baltimore Ravens player) Trevor Pryce.

In the evening, visitors can also travel to Towson to attend the EdTech Innovation Showcase for networking opportunities with investors, entrepreneurs and strategic partners.

Friday, October 11: Access and Innovation Celebration

The final day of BIW looks to emphasize increasing access and inclusion in innovation communities.

Open Works and Innovation Works will host a majority of the day’s events, including discussions about innovation in Baltimore neighborhoods, the accessibility of data and technology and innovative funding strategies. 

Local Baltimore innovators will lead an afternoon discussion about how they utilize entrepreneurship disciplines to address issues in their communities.
