General Information
The Baltimore Immigration Summit is a one-day event that brings together academics, policymakers, service providers, activists, community leaders, and others working with and for New Americans (immigrants and refugees) in our region. Baltimore and its surrounding suburbs represent an area with a growing and diverse New American population, and local governments view New Americans as essential to the region's ongoing resurgence.
The conference location alternates each year between Towson University in Baltimore County and Morgan State University in Baltimore City, a representation of the ongoing partnership between Baltimore City and County to serve New Americans.
Baltimore Immigration Summit 2023
2023 marked the 10th Baltimore Immigration Summit. On Friday, June 2, 2023, Towson University and the Baltimore Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MIMA) hosted the Baltimore Immigration Summit, returning after a three-year hiatus. The theme of the 2023 event was “Working Towards Equity: Strength and Transformation in Immigrant Communities.” The keynote speaker was Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, the President and CEO of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS).
