Accelerate 2025 has leveled up! We’re taking over the Sheraton Flowood The Refuge Hotel & Conference Center—a bigger stage for an even bigger community. After years of unforgettable gatherings at The Westin, the move reflects just how much our Mississippi’s startup ecosystem has grown (and keeps growing!).

This year, Innovate Mississippi is teaming up with the Mississippi Small Business Development Center Network (MSBDCN) to bring all kinds of entrepreneurs together—whether you’re building the next high-growth tech company or scaling a Main Street success story, this conference is built for founders like you.

Think of it as the ultimate event for you, the founders, funders, builders, and dreamers from every corner of Mississippi, united under one roof to share ideas, spark connections, and keep the momentum rolling for you to build the next big success story.
