2026 Forum on American Enterprise

Big Ideas. Big Names. Big Impact for Mississippi!

Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of fascinating conversations, fresh perspectives, and inspiration as the Mississippi Council on Economic Education (MSCEE) welcomes two nationally recognized voices from Marketplace to the 2026 Forum on American Enterprise!

Join us on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Jackson Convention Complex for an exciting luncheon featuring Kai Ryssdal, host and senior editor of Marketplace, one of the nation's most widely heard programs about business and the economy, and Bridget Bodnar, co-creator and co-host of Million Bazillion, Marketplace's popular podcast that makes money and economics fun and understandable for kids and families.

Together, these engaging storytellers bring a fresh and entertaining perspective to the economic forces shaping our everyday lives. From the headlines driving the economy to the financial decisions we make every day, the Forum promises an engaging program filled with thought-provoking insights, meaningful conversations, and plenty of opportunities to connect with Mississippi's business, education, and community leaders.

But this event is about more than great speakers and great conversation. It's about investing in Mississippi's future!

As MSCEE's annual signature fundraising luncheon, the Forum supports the organization's mission to equip K–12 teachers with the training, tools, and resources they need to bring economics and personal finance to life in classrooms across Mississippi. Every sponsorship and ticket helps empower educators, inspire students, and prepare the next generation to make informed financial decisions and thrive in tomorrow's economy.

Don't miss your chance to hear two of public radio's most compelling voices, connect with leaders from across Mississippi, and be part of something that makes a lasting difference!
