MEC’s Hobnob Mississippi is set for Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.

MEC turns 75 at our Annual Meeting in April 2024 and we are celebrating throughout the year, beginning with Hobnob. Join us as we AMPLIFY the voice of Business in Mississippi at Hobnob, and at our other major events throughout the year. In addition, this year we will feature new and exclusive sponsorship opportunities at Hobnob, Capital Day and the Annual Meeting.

This year Hobnob will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to hear from candidates running for statewide office only a few days before the general election. As has been the tradition for over 20 years, major party candidates are invited to be part of Hobnob during election years.

Registration gets underway at 8:30 a.m. and political speaking begins at 9:30 a.m. It wouldn’t be Hobnob without the traditional lunch feast of bar-b-que, fried catfish and all the fixings, which follows the conclusion of the political speeches.
