The former Memphis Business Journal reporter said Memphis exemplifies the "scrappiness and creativity" needed to succeed in Web 2.0 and beyond. Host for the gathering was LaunchMemphis, a business incubator.

To clarify, LaunchMemphis is not an incubator. EmergeMemphis and BioWorks are the incubators in Memphis. LaunchMemphis is an organization that is working to develop a stronger entrepreneurial environment for Memphis and the local area.
