The Big Bad Business series is a monthly, free, small business workshop series that connects entrepreneurs with experts and resources in North Mississippi. Whether you are starting with an idea or well into your small business career, you can come get scalable assistance and connect with likeminded individuals. Programs are open to entrepreneurs in all fields with a special emphasis on the creative economy and nonprofits.
Our goal with the event has been to promote the economic and cultural impact of the culinary scene in Mississippi. The culinary industry is one of the largest employers in Mississippi, with a thriving entrepreneur community, and is key to the cultural experience that celebrates the diverse voices of Mississippi.
We hope to encourage Mississippians to explore local and regional restaurants by sharing the stories of the talented creatives who are defining our communities through food. Click to submit your event idea!
