LinkedIn Local Baltimore 8 Year Anniversary Party

#LinkedInLocal is a meetup concept in over 800 cities world wide. It was created with the purpose to unite people from all walks of life, in one facilitated event, to genuinely get to know the humans behind the LinkedIn profiles, and connect beyond the job titles, business cards and company names. These events are curated to bring our tribes together and remind ourselves why it's important to connect out of the digital world. How our job titles, degrees and backgrounds are just a fraction of who we are and that we have the capacity to be more and to do more when surrounded by the right people.

LinkedIn Local is turning 8, hon, and we're looking forward to a roaring good time in Baltimore! Our networking, community building, and philanthropy focused birthday bash will be an exciting evening for all you party animals. Join us as we venture into the wild together and celebrate the contributions we have been able to make through this event series for local, national, and global non-profit organizations.

Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Maryland Zoo, a non-profit organization dedicated to comprehensive animal care and education programs, as well as critical wildlife conservation efforts. Working together, we can ensure that the opportunity to enjoy wildlife and wild places will be here for future generations.
