Well, several people have posted most of the good things to do or see, so
I'll just throw in a few more eatery suggestions:

  Connoleys (sp?) - on Pier 4 (5?) a few blocks East of the convention
  center: very good seafood, crabcakes, steamed crabs, etc. Moderate
  prices, usually depending on what's fresh that day.

  Tio Pepe's - downtown baltimore, check the phonebook: good Spanish
  (maybe Mexican?) food; not tacos & burritos, but "fancy" food &
  great flan! Expensive.

  Bertha's - Fells Point, 1-2 miles East of the convention center: home
  of the legendary Bertha's Mussels, a small (!) bar with a 10 table
  restaurant in the back. Reasonable prices.

  Pollack Johnny's - on "The Block", Baltimore Street just North of the
  convention center (and East by 2 or 3 blocks): great Polish sausages,
  but guaranteed heartburn. Also, it's in the middle of all the strip
  joints, so it's not the best of neighborhoods (but not that bad, esp.
  if in a group of 3 or more). Cheap on the wallet, expensive on the
  GI tract. :-)

  Hausner's - East Baltimore somewhere, check the phone book: good food,
  somewhat German "accent", usually very good seafood. Very crowded, they
  only take reservations for 5 or more, otherwise you stand in line. It's
  worth going if only for the experience - you stand in line for a while,
  then you go inside and it's still crowded. It might not be so bad, but
  every inch of wall space is covered with paintings. There's a gallery
  upstairs you can tour while waiting for your food to arrive. A bit on
  the expensive side, but worth it (or it was the last time I was there
  about 5 years ago).

  Sissons - South Baltimore, walking distance from the convention center,
  check the phone book for address: good "Cajun" food. Moderate to
  expensive.

       There comes a time in the lifecycle of every product when it
        is necessary to shoot the engineers and begin production.
