Mississippi Damage Prevention Summit 2026

It takes place at IP Casino and Resort in Biloxi.

The organizer lists local elected officials, regulatory personnel, one-call staff, excavators, locators, and utility owner/operators as represented stakeholders.

It is most useful for excavators, locators, one call staff and utility operators in Mississippi, since the format is a regional partner event built to bring local stakeholders together on excavation safety. Local elected officials and regulators are among the expected attendees, which makes it a practical place to settle damage prevention issues face to face; people outside the state or those wanting a national technical program or large exhibit floor would get less from it.

Attendees at damage prevention and utility events usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts and slacks or jeans, with company logo shirts common among excavators and locators.
