Join the BBJ for the annual Economic Outlook – now in April! A major focus of the event will be discussing the 2026 session and what business owners should know about what was (and wasn’t!) accomplished plus a discussion on the general economic outlook for Baltimore and Maryland for the rest of the year.
The program will begin with a keynote from Daraius Irani (Vice President, Business & Public Engagement at Towson University; Chief Economist, RESI) and continue with a panel discussion moderated by BBJ Reporter Garrett Dvorkin.
