Description
Join us for the inaugural StartUp Gulf Coast Pitch Competition on Tuesday, June 10, from 9:30am-2:00pm at MGCCC’s Hospitality Resort Management Center in Biloxi.
Twelve emerging businesses from across the region will take the stage to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to win funding and support.
Whether you’re a fellow entrepreneur, community supporter, or curious attendee, this is your chance to see innovation in action and connect with the people shaping the future of the Gulf Coast.
Plus, enjoy a complimentary lunch from Eat Drink Love—included with your ticket! During lunch, you’ll hear from our featured speaker, Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson.
