Request Information

The Baltimore Immigration Summit invites you to share your expertise, work, and ideas by submitting a proposal for this year’s event! Our theme for 2025 is Baltimore United: Solidarity and Action in Uncertain Times.

Baltimore Immigration Summit

The Baltimore Immigration Summit is a free one-day event that brings together academics, policymakers, service providers, activists, community leaders, and others working with and for immigrants and refugees in our region. Baltimore and its surrounding suburbs represent an area with a growing and diverse immigrant population, and local governments view them as essential to the region's ongoing resurgence. We invite you to join us in learning about and celebrating the empowered immigrant communities in our region and discovering new opportunities for collaboration!

New This Year!

In addition to our panel presentations, we are excited to introduce poster presentations as a dynamic way for participants to showcase their programs, organizations, or studies.

Presentation Formats

  • Panel Presentations: Moderated discussions, followed by time for questions from attendees, with a group of presenters sharing insights on a common topic
  • Poster Presentations: Visual displays designed to engage attendees in one-on-one or small group interactions
