Whether you’ve been coming for years or it’s your first time\, the convention offers a laid-back mix of networking\, industry updates\, and time to enjoy the coast. It’s a familiar tradition for many—and a great opportunity for new faces to jump in and be part of it. \nTo accommodate the strong interest in this year’s convention\, MPA has secured lodging options at both the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa and the nearby Luau at Sandestin Resort. The Luau is located adjacent to the Hilton and offers convenient access to convention activities\, beach access\, and other Sandestin amenities. Attendees may walk to convention functions or utilize the complimentary Sandestin resort tram service available throughout the property. Attendees are encouraged to review both lodging options and reserve accommodations as early as possible. \nAgenda Sponsorship Register  Luau Lodging Golf Tournament Club  Fishing Vessel Info  Fishing Vessel Request/Update \nBecome a Sponsor\nThank you for your continued support of the Convention. There are several ways to get involved as a sponsor—either by selecting sponsorships during registration or by contributing branded items for the Integrator Registration Gift Bags. If you’d like to include an item\, please complete the Gift Bag Pledge below. You can also view the Pledged Gifts link for ideas or to check current contribution status. \nGift Bag Pledge  Pledged Gifts Sponsorship \nAuction & Giving Back\nThe Convention Auction supports the Mississippi Poultry Foundation Scholarship Program\, helping invest in the next generation of our industry. You can participate by sponsoring an auction item during registration (look for “Sponsor an Auction Item”)\, having MPA purchase and manage an item on your behalf\, shipping or delivering an item to the MPA office\, or bringing it with you to Convention. \nTo contribute an item for the auction fill out the Auction Item Pledge below.

Sports tickets\, concert experiences\, branded or themed gift packages\, jewelry\, electronics\, and food or beverage bundles also tend to do well. These are simply suggestions—any contribution is appreciated\, and a variety of items helps make the auction more engaging and successful. \nAuction Item Pledge  Foundation Auction Guide \n2026 Keynote Speakers\nMeet Sam Goodwin\nThis year\, we’re excited to welcome Sam Goodwin to the MPA Annual Convention. After visiting every sovereign nation in the world\, Sam’s life changed forever when he was wrongfully imprisoned in Syria.
