Description

Entrepreneurship is risky business (literally), but in Memphis, the rewards often outshine the risk. Memphis is known as a city that produces movers and shakers—problem solvers who get creative and look beyond limitations—but what are we doing to support and keep them here? How do we define success and how does hope factor into a business plan? Can we invest in innovation with more than just money? Perhaps most importantly, why is the 901 the perfect place to get started? Join us at Celebrate What’s Right to engage in conversation with a power-packed panel of entrepreneurs who are boldly shaping the future of the city to get an insider-view of what it’s like to lean into the momentum and reap big rewards while taking big risks. Memphis is a city full of forward momentum, propelled by its most important asset — its people. At New Memphis, we are excited to Celebrate What’s Right with you.
