Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship

Join the Pava Center for the Social Innovation Lab Showcase, an inspiring evening spotlighting the 2025–2026 cohort of founders advancing bold, community-centered solutions.

Focused on sustainable, scalable impact, each venture is rooted in Baltimore and driven by a vision for a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future.

Throughout the evening, cohort teams will pitch their ventures to a panel of judges, competing for funding to accelerate their next stage of growth. Attendees will also have the opportunity to support their favorite team through the Audience Choice Award.

Arrive early to connect with fellow innovators, community leaders, and supporters over food and conversation. Networking and dinner begin at 5:30 p.m., with programming starting at 6:00 p.m.
