The Baltimore Immigration Summit is a one-day event which brings together academics, policy makers, service providers, activists, community leaders, and others working with and for New Americans (immigrants & refugees) in our region. Baltimore and its surrounding suburbs represent an area with a growing and diverse New American population, and local governments view New Americans as essential to the region's ongoing resurgence.
The theme of this year’s Summit is "Restoring Hope through Solidarity," which captures the critical nature of collaboration with and on behalf of New Americans. Additionally, this year's theme resists the recent hateful rhetoric coming from the national stage and celebrates the ongoing good work of New Americans and their advocates in Baltimore. Join us and prepare to be reenergized by narratives of hope and resilience in the Baltimore region as you discover new opportunities for collaboration!
The Summit is a one day event from 8:30AM to 4:30 PM. Coffee and pastries as well as lunch will be included. After a keynote address in the morning, attendees will be able to choose from a variety of panel presentations. Best of all, this event is completely FREE!
IMPORTANT: When you register, you will be asked to select the panel sessions you plan to attend. Detailed panel descriptions can be accessed here: https://tinyurl.com/BIS19Schedule. Please note that descriptions and panelists are subject to change prior to the event.
