LGBTQ Business Week
2025 Recap

Thank you, Memphis! LGBTQ Business Week 2025 was a huge success thanks to the support of our community. More than 30 local businesses participated — offering more than 50 special deals, hosting events, and showing up to celebrate inclusivity in the workplace and marketplace.

From the buzz on social media to the energy in our local shops and venues, the impact was clear: LGBTQ Business Week continues to grow as a meaningful tradition that highlights the strength and creativity of our local business owners.

“We saw folks using offers all week and were excited to help our local small businesses.”
Erin Swinney,
President of the MidSouth LGBT Chamber

We’re finalizing our 2025 impact report now and look forward to sharing detailed participation stats and community highlights in 2026.

A special thank you to everyone who joined Ally Boot Camp: Part One at Ghost River Brewing on October 16. Our speakers shared valuable insights on building stronger allyship across communities. Stay tuned — Ally Boot Camp: Part Two is coming in 2026!
