Link Up & Sync
For eight years, The Link Up Memphis has been the place where Memphians come to connect, collaborate, and build both professional and personal relationships. We’ve also been a trusted space for business owners and entrepreneurs to grow their networks and ideas.
For our 8th anniversary, we’re launching the inaugural Link Up and Sync Weekender — a multi-day experience designed to inspire, connect, and empower professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs. This year, we’re expanding our reach, inviting not only the Memphis community but also guests from surrounding areas and other cities to join us in Memphis.
This isn’t just networking, it’s a mix of business, culture, vision sharing, collaboration, and a celebration of eight years of The Link Up. Throughout the weekend, you’ll take part in powerful conversations, engaging panels, and social experiences that turn connections into real opportunities.
