Gulf Coast AI Summit

Gulf Coast AI Summit 2026 is a one-day, public-facing summit designed to help people across the Mississippi Gulf Coast better understand artificial intelligence and what it means for work, business, education, services, and everyday life.

This is not a tech-insider event. It is a practical regional conversation for small business owners, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, educators, workforce professionals, students, community leaders, service providers, and AI-curious residents who want a clearer, more useful entry point into the tools and questions shaping our future.

The Summit will bring together speakers, panels, practical examples, and live AI demonstrations to make artificial intelligence feel less distant, less intimidating, and more connected to real life on the Coast.

Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of what AI is, where it is already showing up, how it may affect their work or organization, and what responsible, practical use can look like.

Mississippi is not behind on AI. Mississippi is at a decision point.

Gulf Coast AI Summit creates space for people across the Coast to ask better questions, see what is possible, and find a practical place to begin.

General admission is $25 plus ticketing/processing fees. Space is limited.
