About Impact Hub

Impact Hub is a shared workspace, community center, and innovation lab focused on social impact. Last month, we opened our doors at the historic Centre Theater in Station North, and are already home to 60+ visionary people and projects. Our programming puts collaboration, connection, and equity at the center of everything we do.

We believe Baltimore is a city on the rise, and that we have the people, resources and ideas to lead the nation in addressing some of its greatest challenges. 

This forum is an opportunity for open exchange with the next potential leaders of the city. The Baltimore Primary Election will be held April 26, 2016. Our partner Vote More B’more will offer voter registration during the event and throughout the coming months.
