2026 ABC State of the Industry

A Special Morning for Our Members — and a Moment in ABC History
Thursday, November 19, 2026 | 8:00 AM–11:00 AM
Woodholme Country Club
State of the Industry has always been an opportunity for ABC Greater Baltimore members to come together, take stock of where our industry stands, and look ahead to what’s next.
This year, “what’s next” has even greater meaning.
Join us for a special morning featuring key industry insights, member recognition, and an important moment in the history of ABC Greater Baltimore. We will officially install our 2027 Board of Directors and celebrate a leadership transition as Mike Henderson passes the keys to incoming President & CEO Chris Hadfield.
Chris may be a familiar face to many in the ABC community, but this will be a significant moment for our association — one that honors the strong foundation ABC has built while looking ahead to a new chapter.
We’ll also recognize member milestone anniversaries, celebrate our ABC National Safety STEP Award winners, and hear an economic forecast from ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu.
Much has been built. Much lies ahead. Be there for this special moment.
