2026 Symposium — October 2, Tickets Now on Sale
As Interim President & CEO, I am honored to help guide The Black Chamber of Memphis through this important season of transition and renewed focus.
This year's Building Wealth in Our Community Symposium reflects where we are headed as an organization: more intentional, more aligned, and more focused on helping businesses access the relationships, resources, and infrastructure they need to grow. Our theme, Building Entrepreneur City: Access. Investment. Mobility., connects directly to the momentum happening across Memphis while keeping our focus on the businesses and entrepreneurs we serve.
NEW DATE & LOCATION
BCoM has made a deliberate decision to move the 2026 Symposium to Friday, October 2. This gives us the runway to build the event this work deserves with confirmed speakers, engaged sponsors, and programming designed to create real outcomes for the businesses in the room.
We're proud to partner with Reign Event Venue, the host site for this year's convening. Together, we're creating a welcoming space where connections are made, ideas are shared, and opportunities take shape. Following the Symposium, stick around for AIM After Hours, a networking happy hour designed to continue the conversations and strengthen relationships across our business community.
This year's symposium is designed to bring the right people into the room for meaningful conversations and practical outcomes. With a curated audience of entrepreneurs, investors, public-sector leaders, corporate partners, and ecosystem builders, the Symposium is built for high-quality engagement and long-term community investment.
Join us on October 2 as we shape the future of business in Memphis and the Mid-South. Reserve your seat today.
