In 2025, the event attracted more than 1,150 attendees, 97% of whom declared that their purpose for attending was accomplished.

“The success seen during the 2025 Entrepreneur Expo made one thing clear—Maryland benefits from having an all-encompassing event like this,” said TEDCO CEO Troy LeMaile-Stovall. “Last year alone, the event offered connection opportunities for more than 100 exhibitors, two pitch competitions, four international agreement announcements and plenty of energy to push the entrepreneurial ecosystem forward.
