The Keynote Speaker: 
Nezly Silva, Former White House Official

Registration is open:

Imagining the Future: Anything is Possible- Without a doubt, Arkansas’s changing demographics have presentedunique challenges that have stimulated collective thinking towards adaptation and solutions. NWA is a testament to the community’s capacity for collaboration, re-inventing the way it operates, imagining a future and creatingopportunities that did not exist. The visionary thinking happening over the past three decades has put in motion operations that are yielding results of community integration and better educational opportunities to sustain economic progress and to compete in a rapidly evolving high tech economy that has been impacting both native and transplanted Arkansans. Although nothing prepares us for what is to come, and there are not immediate fixes to challenge generated by the rapid growth, it takes courage to imagining the future to change the world.C
