Jackson, MS 39211
Overview
Join Mississippi's most influential business leaders, corporate executives, policymakers, educators, and entrepreneurs for an afternoon of insight, innovation, and opportunity at Tougaloo College's 38th Annual Business Luncheon.
For nearly four decades, this signature event has been the premier gathering place where Jackson's business community connects with one of the nation's historic HBCUs. Established in 1987 by Trustee Emeritus Reuben V. Anderson, the Business Luncheon has become a hallmark occasion that strengthens partnerships, celebrates economic achievement, and explores emerging opportunities across local, national, and global markets.
This year's luncheon welcomes keynote speaker Roger E. Wehner from Amazon Web Services, who will share cutting-edge perspectives on technology, business innovation, and the future of economic development.
With over 350 professionals in attendance, this is more than a luncheon—it's where vision meets action, where relationships are built, and where Mississippi's business landscape takes shape.
