Built with Charm #2
A night for Baltimore’s builders, makers, and innovators.
Baltimore has always been a city of builders, from shipyards to startups, murals to microchips. "Built with Charm" is a new gathering for everyone building something in our city.
Whether you’re shipping an app, experimenting with new tech, finishing a client project you’re proud of, or just getting started on an idea, this is your space to share, connect, and celebrate the act of building something in the city.
Why this exists:
We believe the best ideas often start small and they start here. This isn't about corporate polish or pitch decks. It’s about:
Progress over polish: Unfinished is welcome.
Community over competition: Share, support, and build together.
Local over corporate: Highlighting what’s being made right here.
Creativity over conformity: Code, design, hardware, art—it all counts.
What to expect:
Each event is a simple, energetic gathering focused on sharing and connection.
Show & Tell: 5-7 minute casual demos (no slides needed).
Community Spotlight: A deeper look at a local project.
Open Mic: 1-minute lightning ideas from anyone in the audience.
Connect: Time to talk, network, and collaborate with other creative people.
