Building Arkansas takes a literal turn as we look at some of the innovative trends in building design around the state. Polk Stanley Wilcox principals  Reese Rowland and Wesley Walls will talk about the power of design and placemaking with projects around the state. Reese and Wesley will explore how civic and educational buildings—like the LEED Platinum Heifer International Headquarters to the recently created Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts building and the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine—are designed to transform communities and reflect regional identity.

You'll get to know members in the room better, while learning to up your networking game for greater impact across Arkansas and beyond.
