For nearly a century, the State Chamber/AIA Annual Meeting has brought Arkansas’s business community together to recognize our progress and look ahead to what’s next.

On Nov. 17, 2026, we’ll once again bring together business and industry leaders from across Arkansas for the State Chamber/AIA 98th Annual Meeting in Little Rock. It’s an opportunity to connect, reflect on the progress we’ve made and look ahead to the issues and opportunities that will shape Arkansas’s economic future.

This year’s keynote speaker is Neil Bradley, Executive Vice President, Chief Policy Officer & Head of Strategic Advocacy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. A leading voice on federal policies impacting American businesses, Bradley will share valuable insights into the issues shaping our nation’s economy, the business climate and the opportunities and challenges ahead.
