What to Do & Where to Stay in the Area
The Renaissance Hotel is located at 202 East Pratt Street, at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Make the most of your day while you’re downtown for the conference – there are plenty of other things to do and see near the hotel.
If you’re looking for a place to stay overnight, the organizers have arranged for discounted rooms with the Renaissance Hotel, where the conference
itself takes place. The location is also close to several other downtown hotels, including the Brookshire Suites and the Pier 5 Hotel.

March weather in Baltimore varies, but no matter what the temperature, there are plenty of fun activities to explore in the Inner Harbor.
History buffs and anyone interested in the naval industry will be fascinated by the four historic ships located around the harbor and Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, located on Pier 5.
Those with kids who have a little post-convention steam to burn off can hop over to Pierce’s Park, also 
near Pier 5, to wander and play on the playground.

And, of course, there’s shopping. Start at Harborplace, then walk east along the water, to Harbor East, where you’ll find some of the city’s glitziest shops, including the Under Armour Brand House.
There are also tons of restaurants in the downtown area. If you’re looking for something family-friendly and fun, head to Peruvian chicken joint Chicken Rico’s near the Power Plant Live!, to the ever-popular Shake Shack, or over to Miss Shirley’s, a popular southern-influenced restaurant that serves terrific breakfast, lunch and dinner.
