Coast Coliseum & Convention Center in Biloxi.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour

Exciting New Conference Addition on Supplier Diversity!
Southern Gaming Summit is pleased to announce a special new conference session, presented by the Mississippi Minority Business Enterprise Center, a Federally-funded program by the Minority Business Development Agency, U.S. Department of Commerce, operated by the Arkansas-Mississippi Minority Business Council.
PowerConnect Plus: Leveraging Supplier Diversity for Global “Smart Growth” is scheduled for Thursday, May 8, at 12:30, immediately following Gov. Barbour’s keynote presentation. You won’t want to miss this one!

Focus on Destination Building
Highlighting the first day of Southern Gaming Summit is an exciting general session entitled Building a Destination. The destruction from Hurricane Katrina provided an unforeseen chance to start with a clean slate and make a unique unified approach to tourism, casino hotel development and building the convention business, unlike any other major market in the United States. Be sure to join local leaders who will provide insight into the region’s overall outlook, goals and relationship with the gaming industry. Speakers include:
