The Inner Harbor area of Baltimore, where conference is located, is close to many shops, restaurants, and family friendly activities including the Baltimore Aquarium and Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles. Guiness Open Gate Brewery is also a short distance from inner harbor by car and features exclusive Guiness products brewed in Maryland.
