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.

Got some free time this weekend and want to learn more about technology?
Here’s a great opportunity — Memphis’ fourth BarCamp will be this Saturday, November 12, at Southwest Tennessee Community College, 5983 Macon Cove.
What’s BarCamp? It’s a tech conference that’s actually an unconference. If you’ve got an idea, technique or expertise you’d like to share, come early and sign up to present. Topics are voted on by attendees and the ideas that receive the most votes will be presented. There’s plenty of time for networking and you can be sure you’ll meet at least one person with whom you share a common interest.
If you don’t want to present, that’s ok, too. Just come and enjoy the casual atmosphere, listen and learn.
Here are a few of the topics that have already been submitted — and we’re sure there will be even more coming in this week:
There will be free wifi; feel free to bring your laptop and mobile devices. The cost varies from student rate (pay as you can) to corporate rate. Register here and choose what you pay — we’re on the honor system.
The day will kick off at about 8:30 a.m. and wrap up at 4:30 p.m. There will be snacks throughout the day and lunch is provided. Dress is come-as-you-are comfortable and casual.
