There are as many versions of Memphis as there are Memphians. We have something for everyone… and a soul like no other city’s.
Take a look through MemphisConnect and you’ll understand why the 100+ diverse voices represented are all inspired to call Memphis home.

Here’s a little more info from Launch Memphis:
48 Hour Launch is one of the most powerful and unique entrepreneurship programs in the country. It promotes the development of local economies and the implementation of innovative ideas with new launched startups. Simply put, creative individuals from all industries unite their talent in one location to launch new enterprises in a 48 hour period.
All your food, drink, wifi, and other needs are included. Register at 48hour.eventbrite.com. We take care of the rest while you take care of business.
The festivities kick off this Friday at 6 p.m. at the Launch Pad at Emerge Memphis. If you want to find out more about the ideas taking shape for the weekend, visit the Launch Memphis Facebook event to read about a sampling of pitches proposed at Pitch Night.
MemphisConnect is a partnership between The Leadership Academy, MemphisED and Simple Focus. We provide a gathering place for diverse Memphians to share the opportunities, initiatives and activities that inspire them to make Memphis home.
MemphisConnect is always looking for people who are passionate about Memphis and want to help move our community forward. Get in touch if you have a story for us to share, of if you want to write for us!
I heard some of the pitches (also on Facebook event page), and I think we’ll have at least one unique music industry startup this go around.
Great event guys! I’ll be curious to hear an update 90 days from now.
