If you’re new to Memphis (or know someone who is) and and you're wondering how to adjust to this city - this wonderfully southern, often-misunderstood city, on the cusp of one of the greatest renaissances in its history - November is your month.

New Memphis Institute will host a month long orientation to Memphis called New-To-Town November. It's part of our Newcomer program, which welcomes new talent (that’s you) and connects them with other young professionals. 

These events are more than just networking sessions, they’re a chance for new Memphians to meet others like them and to experience and understand why we love this city so much.

There's one event each week in November, and they only get better as they go along.
