In Jackson County, business isn’t just conducted—it’s built, shared, and strengthened face to face. And for one day this May, that spirit will be on full display.
The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce is set to host the 2026 Jackson County Industry & Business Expo on Wednesday, May 13, at the B.E. “Mac” McGinty Civic Center in Pascagoula. Located at 2902 Shortcut Road, the event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.—and in true community fashion, admission is completely free.
Designed as a one-day gathering of momentum and connection, the expo brings together businesses of all sizes and sectors under one roof. From established industry leaders to growing local operations, the event offers a rare opportunity to step into the heartbeat of Jackson County’s business community and see it in action.
And there’s still time to be part of it.
Limited booth space remains available, and organizations are encouraged to secure their spot soon. For businesses looking to showcase their products, services, and capabilities, the expo provides a built-in audience of decision-makers, collaborators, and potential clients—all gathered with a shared purpose.
Regional businesses are encouraged to allow employees in procurement, management, engineering, and other industrial roles to attend, creating space for meaningful, in-person interaction that so often drives real progress. Attendees are also invited to extend that reach even further—bringing along partners and contacts from across the region, the nation, and even globally to experience what Jackson County has to offer.
Because at its core, this expo is about more than business cards and handshakes—it’s about relationships.
The kind that spark new ideas. The kind that open doors. The kind that remind us that even in an increasingly digital world, there is still unmatched value in standing across the table from someone, having a conversation, and seeing where it leads.
Throughout the day, attendees will have the chance to explore new and existing products, discover emerging services, and gain a clearer picture of the industries that continue to shape and support the region. It’s a space where innovation meets opportunity—and where connections can quickly turn into collaboration.
As one of Jackson County’s signature business events, the Industry & Business Expo reflects a broader commitment to economic growth and community support. It’s a reminder that progress doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens when people come together, share ideas, and invest in one another.
And in a place like Pascagoula, where industry and community have long gone hand in hand, that kind of gathering feels right at home.
Whether you’re a business owner, an industry professional, or simply someone interested in seeing the engines that keep this corner of Mississippi moving forward, May 13 offers a front-row seat.
Just don’t wait too long if you’re hoping to claim a booth. Those spots are going fast—and if the past is any indication, this is one event you’ll want to be part of.
