Hey everyone! Thanks for checking in for the NW Arkansas Startup Weekend. The date for this event has been pushed back until early spring due to conflicting schedules and a lot of interest of from other groups that can only get involved with more time.

Keep in touch though, there is a ton of support coming for this event!
