MS CEC: Fall Conference: An Exceptional Purpose
You are invited…
Not just to a conference,
but to something deeply intentional.
Every detail of the 2026 Mississippi CEC Conference has been thoughtfully designed with purpose—from the handwritten script of our logo, to the sessions you will experience, to the moments we will share together.
The line in the design has no beginning and no end…because that is the nature of this work.
At some point, this calling became your purpose—and once it does, it never truly leaves you.
This year, we return to the heart of it all: Education. Relationships. Service.
We invite you to grow, to connect, and to be renewed in the work that matters most—
supporting exceptional children, their families, and every stakeholder who walks alongside them.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something truly meaningful.
This year will not just be different…
it will be EXCEPTIONAL!
