You are invited…
To be part of something purposeful.
On behalf of the Mississippi Council for Exceptional Children, I invite you to participate as a vendor, exhibitor, or sponsor at the 2026 MS CEC Annual Conference, held September 21–23, 2026 at the IP Casino Resort & Spa in Biloxi, Mississippi.
This conference brings together parents, educators, administrators, and decision-makers from across the state—individuals who are deeply committed to improving outcomes for exceptional children and strengthening the systems that support them.
Our 2026 theme,
“An Exceptional Purpose: Education • Relationships • Service,”
guides every aspect of the conference—including meaningful opportunities for connection between attendees and partners like you.
Why Participate
This is more than a vendor space—it is an opportunity to:
- Build authentic relationships with key stakeholders, including families
- Share resources that directly impact student success at school and at home
- Position your organization as a partner in purpose-driven work
Exhibitor Information
- Set-Up: September 21, 2026 (morning – final details forthcoming)
- Exhibit Engagement: Structured attendee incentives to promote meaningful interaction
- Audience: Parents, educators, administrators, and service providers across Mississippi
Sponsorship Opportunities
A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are available and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Below are the available sponsorship levels, along with the submission form.
We are intentionally designing a conference experience where every interaction matters—
and your presence is part of that design.
This year will not just be different…
it will be EXCEPTIONAL.
With purpose,
Lori Wilcher
Conference Planner, MS CEC 2026
