Not only did more than 150 exhibitors see thousands of visitors, but the EXPO also offered several awards programs, an after-hours networking event, workshops and more. It was by far our biggest and best EXPO, said Linda Jacobs, director of special events at the Mississippi Business Journal. We got positive feedback from attendees and exhibitors, and we will look to build on this success for the EXPO in 2001. EXPO got underway with the first-annual Salute to Business and Industry Awards breakfast. The program honored six businesses of central Mississippi for not only their financial success, but also their commitment to their employees and local community.
