They're coming home

Baltimore's alumni event will be back in 2022. 

 

Baltimore Homecoming announced plans Wednesday for its three day event, called Amplify 2022. Save the date: May 4-6.

 

The idea is to bring some of the city's big-name and highly-accomplished natives back to Baltimore to see what's going on today.

 

For the locals, the organizers are now accepting nominations for the Homecoming Hero Awards. Plus, it's taking proposals from nonprofits to serve as "field trip" sites for the visitors. Let's show 'em what we're building. Maybe they'll want to stick around.

 

What's the first thing you would show someone who hasn't been to the city in a while? Reply to this email with your answer!
