Unscripted: The Opening Session at VC Immersions
Kick off the day with a lunch-hour unconference—four rooms, zero panels, and a chance to shape what comes next.
We’re starting VC Immersions the way all good things begin: with curiosity, candor, and a little bit of chaos.
This isn’t your typical main stage. It’s an unconference-style kickoff where the first hour belongs to the people in the room—founders, investors, LPs, and corporate leaders—gathered to shape what’s next.
We’ll break into four lightning-round sessions running at the same time. Some are curated. Others are sparked live by the crowd. You pick where to go, what to lean into, and who to learn from. Or float between rooms. That’s part of the fun.
This year, we’re welcoming 35+ visiting investors from around the country—many of them stepping into Arkansas for the first time. This is your chance to get to know them beyond the bios, before the 1:1s begin.
Who this is for:
Founders raising capital or building something bold in an overlooked market
Investors looking for the next breakout company—and rethinking where they find it
LPs and corporate leaders exploring what’s possible in the Heartland economy
Anyone who knows the best part of a summit is often the stuff that isn’t scripted
Why attend:
Get early access to the people and ideas powering VC Immersions
Join unfiltered, high-trust conversations across venture and innovation
Help shape the day’s agenda by surfacing topics that deserve more attention
Connect with top-tier investors before the formal meetings begin
What makes this different:
No panels. No posturing. Just the right people in the right rooms, having the right conversations.
It’s the kickoff that sets the tone for everything that follows. Smart. Candid. Founder-first. If you’re serious about building or backing what’s next, this is where you want to start.
