Light City Labs

Bright Lights & Bright Minds Gather in Baltimore, MD

What are the Labs at Light City all about?

Light City Labs = Social Innovation Collaboration

The goal of Light City Labs is to do for social innovation what Sundance has done for film, what Art Basel has been for contemporary and emerging art; in short – a GAME CHANGER.

Baltimore is an emerging center for social innovation in our country; Light City Labs can be the annual meeting place for like-minded individuals who aspire to be a part of a positive social change.

Light City Labs is the opportunity to bring emerging voices, with new ideas, together with established leaders in social innovation to explore and help shape the future of society.

Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
