About Our Host City—Baltimore, MD

USP is pleased to hold its 2013 Science & Standards Symposium in the historically rich and inviting city of Baltimore, MD. “Charm City,” as it is affectionately known, has something for everyone: diverse neighborhoods, delicious seafood and cuisine, lauded sports teams, and the famous Inner Harbor that showcases the city’s character and culture. With the Symposium being held on the waterfront, you’ll have convenient access to many “must see” attractions: The National Aquarium, Fort McHenry, Camden Yards (home of the Baltimore Orioles), Fells Point, the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum, and the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House.

It can be quite hot and humid in early fall and cool later in the season.
  • Day: If you are touring, wear comfortable shoes for walking. An umbrella is good for cloudy days. Sunscreen is a must when the sun is out, especially at baseball games.
  • Evening: Consider your agenda; theaters tend to be dressier and some upscale restaurants may require jackets. Nights are generally cool, so bring a sweater or jacket.
