Formerly known as the Rural Entrepreneurship Forum, the Mississippi Entrepreneurship Forum brings together leading entrepreneurs, economic developers, innovators and future business owners to learn more about the current entrepreneurial climate and the future of entrepreneurship in Mississippi.
The event provides working opportunities for aspiring business owners and thriving entrepreneurs to share practical and useful information about building a business. Additionally, attendees will hear best practices of successful case studies and learn more about resources and strategies available to entrepreneurs from institutions of high education in Mississippi and other key organizations. Panels on technology and innovation, student entrepreneurship, and the state’s entrepreneurial ecosystem also will be conducted.
The first Rural Entrepreneurship Forum was held jointly with the Delta Regional Forum in 2015. The conference program for that year is available here.
