The 2025 Mississippi disAbility MegaConference seeks dynamic presenters to share knowledge, experiences, and innovative ideas that can positively impact the disability community. This conference, taking place June 12-13, 2025, at the Hilton Jackson, offers a platform for advocates, professionals, and individuals with disabilities to connect and learn from one another. If you’re passionate about improving the lives of people with disabilities, this is your chance to contribute to a vital conversation.
