Whether you're hosting a corporate gathering at Lake Terrace Convention Center, an on-campus event at The University of Southern Mississippi, or a lively networking mixer in Midtown, Hattiesburg offers a warm, welcoming backdrop for memorable experiences.

With its blend of Southern charm, creative culture, and outdoor adventure, Hattiesburg makes it easy to spark inspiration. When you’re brainstorming event planning ideas, think beyond the venue and invite guests to explore. A walk or bike ride along the Longleaf Trace, a stop at the Hattiesburg Zoo, or a visit to the quirky Pocket Museum brings fun local flavor to your event. Art lovers can explore murals throughout the city, and history buffs can enjoy exhibits at the African American Military History Museum.

The food scene delivers. Treat your attendees to Mississippi comfort classics, inventive Southern dishes, or standout local eats in Midtown and Downtown. For a laid-back experience between sessions, point guests toward local breweries, coffee shops, and boutique shopping. If your event overlaps with festival season, Hattiesburg’s live music and community events add an extra layer of energy.

Add the finishing touch with custom event name badges and conference lanyards that reflect your brand and elevate your event's vibe. At Billy’s Badges, we specialize in creating vibrant, high-quality badges that make a lasting impression while supporting sustainable event planning and management. Our eco-friendly printing options make it easy to go green without giving up bold design.

Give your attendees a badge they’ll love - and an event in a city they’ll never forget.
