Hey, it's the 10th annual Baltimore Innovation Week!

There's on more day of virtual discussions, resource sharing and fun sessions to check out, courtesy of the organizers at ETC (Emerging Technology Centers).

On Thursday, 5/20, at 3:30pm, I'm excited to moderate a panel on leadership and advancing change before and after COVID with three founders:

  • Juliana Buonanno, Techslice
  • Stephanie Franklin, The Franklin Law Group
  • Deepa Srinivasan, Vision Planning and Consulting.

Fun fact: They're all alums of Goldman Sachs' 10K Small Businesses program!

Register here, then go down the rabbit hole to check out all the great sessions:
