In today's world, more connected than ever, the business community can lead a wider conversation. Workfuture is MEC's signature theme to set the agenda: a catalyst inviting all our voices to the table to not just anticipate, but to create the future. Join in the conversation at our three major events: Hobnob Mississippi, MEC Capital Day, and MEC’s Annual Meeting.
MEC is proud to be your voice at the state capitol for 75 years, and we know it is because of our membership that we are the largest, pro-business organization in the state. We look forward to seeing you at all of our events!
