As a proud member of the Mississippi DisAbility Megaconference planning committee, we are so excited for all that the 2026 conference has in store! Stay tuned for updates on keynote speakers, breakout sessions, self-advocacy training, and more!

MegaConference 2026: a new location and a new look!

With our move to Oxford, we felt it was the perfect time to refresh our logo—our first update in over a decade. Our new look reflects what has always been at the heart of the MegaConference: community, connection, and a shared commitment to advancing disability rights and inclusion across Mississippi.

We're excited for this new chapter and for MegaConference 2026...see you there?!

We’re SO excited for this Super Bowl weekend as this year's game has a very special connection to our DRMS family! Congratulations to Jamie Sheriff—son of our longtime CFO Beverly Sheriff—who is Super Bowl bound! Jamie’s hard work, grit, and determination have taken him from Terry High School all the way to the Seattle Seahawks. Congratulations to Beverly as well for raising such a dedicated, talented young man!

We are incredibly proud of both of you. Let’s go Seahawks! 💚💙
