That’s a wrap for the @Inc. 5000 Conference in Dallas! We came to celebrate LINK’s fifth appearance on the Inc. 5000. We left inspired by new ideas about how we can work with our partners to improve the world around us. We were also honored to celebrate at the gala alongside so many incredible entrepreneurs and businesses, a group that collectively represents more than $385 billion in revenue this year alone. Thank you to @inc5000 for the stage, to everyone we met for the conversations, and to our partners who made this possible. Oh, and the biggest takeaway? LINK is just getting started! Onward. #Inc5000 #LINKglobal

Day 2 at the @inc5000. We kicked off the day with the “Your Next Move” podcast conversation about the LINK model, how our work is expanding globally, and what it takes to scale without losing sight of your mission. From there, we spent the day learning alongside other leaders in sessions on workplace culture, AI, employee retention and much more, all with an eye toward how we keep growing and building as a team. Also got to join our partners at @Insperity for a partner’s reception. We ended the evening with a special dinner and were honored to spend time with @Inc Editor-in-Chief @mikehofman. Proud of the model we’re building, proud of how far it’s taken us, and even more excited about where we’re headed next. #Inc5000

Day 1 at the @inc5000! We have arrived. We have met a ton of people. And we can’t wait to tell you all about it. Team LINK is proud to be here for the 5th time as an Inc. 5000 company. We’re focused on continuing to grow, strengthen the firm and bring new ideas back into how we work. One conversation that stuck with us today came from @campbell_brown of Forum AI, who talked about not being afraid to experiment with AI (because your competition probably is). One point that resonated: too often, organizations try to build a massive AI plan that try to solves for too much or pick a tool before they’ve figured out what problem they’re actually trying to solve. AI is everywhere. We all know that. But instead of trying to figure out how AI impacts everything, Campbell says to pick just one area where you think can significantly improve things for you. Try it. Test different tools. Get that one thing right first. That mindset feels relevant far beyond AI. Growth doesn’t always come from changing everything at once. Sometimes it starts with finding one thing you can do better — and getting it right. Lots more ahead from Dallas as we keep learning, connecting and thinking about the next chapter of LINK. What’s one thing you’ve figured out that has changed the way you work? Tell us in the comments. #Inc5000 #TeamLINK @Inc

Five times. That's how many times LINK Strategic Partners has now been named to the @inc5000, the list of America's fastest-growing private companies. We're proud to have been named five times. We're prouder of how we got there: by designing campaigns, coalitions, and strategies alongside organizations taking on some of the biggest challenges of our time, from community health to local economies to education. This week, Michael Akin (@DCMichaelA), Jamal Holtz (@JamalHoltz), Sherryl Newman (@SHobbsNewman), and Christian Clansky head to Dallas for @Inc Magazine's Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala. Swipe to meet them (if you don't know them already). If you're in Dallas, come find us. If you're not, we hope you'll follow along. We'll share what we hear, and what we think it means for mission-driven organizations like LINK. Even bigger things ahead...

In the last 2 weeks, LINK has been on the ground in Rio, Doha, Detroit, Nelson Mandela Bay, Addis Ababa, Park City (Utah), Dublin, and London. Different cities. Different continents. Different conversations. But one model at work. We have always believed that the strongest work is both hyperlocal and global, deeply rooted in the communities we serve, while constantly building relationships, exchanging ideas and creating opportunity across borders. Over the last several days, our team has been in conversations around healthcare, trade and economic development, strategic planning, global tourism, sports, cultural collaboration, higher education, placemaking and more. And while the geography matters, the real story is what happens when those connections begin to move. For LINK, being global has never been about simply showing up around the world. It is about understanding that the work happening in our backyard and beyond is increasingly connected, and that our role is to help turn those connections into something meaningful. Hyperlocal on a global stage. That’s LINK.

#TeamLINK had the pleasure of helping our partners at @RAMWdc launch Together We Dine 2026! In true DMV fashion, our world-class local dining scene never stops reinventing itself. So, whether you live in the District or are looking for a reason to visit, Together We Dine is your invitation to explore (and taste) something new in the month of October. From restaurant events, happy hours, and special dinners, this is your chance to grab your foodie friends and head somewhere you've never been or to an old favorite. Restaurants build community here in the DMV and LINK couldn't be prouder to serve as the official communications partner for an organization that does so much to celebrate and support the restaurant community fueling our taste buds. It was great to celebrate alongside our partners at @citycruises and @TheEventsDC, and the many friends who helped make the evening special. Who will you celebrate with this month?
