On October 1, there will be another event in Baltimore specifically to celebrate all of the innovative thinkers, creators, and doers that are making it happen in their city. BetaCity, as it is being called, will be a one day event that will feature demos, live music, networking, and a pitch competition. It’s also a chance to get an exclusive look at City Garage, an old bus garage that Plank Industries has turned into a city for innovation. The event is being brought to life by Betamore, in partnership with Plank Industries (founded by Under Armour’s Kevin Plank), Startup Maryland, and Technical.ly Baltimore. The festivities begin at 1pm with the pitch competition, however the real party (and prime networking opportunities) start at 7pm and go into the night. Betamore was established in 2012 as a coworking space, incubator and campus for technology and entrepreneurship. Their mission is to “make Baltimore a leading global entrepreneurship destination that aligns businesses, government, not-for-profit entities, and centers of education with entrepreneurs who drive creative commercialization.” The inaugural BetaCity day is a natural step towards accomplishing their mission. If you want to support Baltimore startups and innovation on October 1st, tickets can be found here.
