Maryland Blockchain Week is hosted at Capitol Technology University in Laurel — a working STEM campus halfway between Baltimore and Washington, with free parking, dedicated breakout halls, and direct rail + bus connections.
Capitol Tech University is an accredited STEM institution with cybersecurity, AI, and engineering labs you can actually walk through. Workshops happen in classrooms designed for hands-on learning. Keynotes happen in the main auditorium. The expo and hackathon zone live in the Innovation Wing.
The full event is on one connected campus — no shuttling between hotels or convention centers. Park once, walk between sessions, eat in the campus dining hall.
Laurel sits between BWI airport, DCA airport, and Union Station. Whether you’re flying in, driving from the Eastern Seaboard, or hopping on Amtrak — the venue is reachable without a connection.
