Historic Lexington Market

On Thursday, November 1st from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. gb.tc will host the 23rd annual Tech Night.

It’s long been the premier annual party for Baltimore’s tech community, but Tech Night 2012 is a whole new animal. A more inclusive (and affordable) event than ever before, Tech Night is happening at a landmark of authentic Baltimore: the historic Lexington Market.

Honoring entrepreneurs and innovators

Our informal theme is Why Baltimore? Why build a business here? Why put down roots here? What are the unique strengths and qualities of our community?

The remarkable people gathering at Tech Night will answer that question and will pay tribute to Baltimore’s centuries-old tradition of commerce and the new wave of innovation building in our region.

Highlights will include ample time for networking and socializing as well as a fast-paced awards ceremony honoring the year’s most innovative and successful companies and individuals.

Startup Arena

Up to twenty up-and-coming companies will be giving demos and making pitches at featured tables in the Tech Night Startup Arena. Apply to have your new business included.

Local food and drink

The event will feature Maryland-made wine and beer as well as fare from the fabulous vendors and restaurants at the Lexington Market, including: Berger’s Bakery, Faidley’s, Memsahib, Mary Mervis Deli, and others!

An open and accessible celebration

In the past Tech Night tickets have cost as much as $180. This year, early bird tickets start at $40 and include parking, food, and drinks.
