AR-STRIDES Industry–University Roundtable

We invite you to join the upcoming AR-STRIDES Industry-University Roundtable on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the Embassy Suites in Little Rock, Arkansas, from 9:00 to 11:45 AM.

Led by the University of Arkansas, the Arkansas Smart Transportation Research Incubator through Data Engineering and Science (AR-STRIDES) is innovating data-driven supply chain technologies and data analytics for next-generation transportation and logistics. This statewide research incubator is funded by the National Science Foundation.

We are convening a small, select group of leaders from Arkansas companies, agencies, and colleges to discuss data-related challenges and workforce needs critical to moving goods and supporting transportation infrastructure.

The Roundtable is designed to be an interactive working session, and there is nothing to prepare prior to arrival. Your perspective and insights are essential to ensuring that our research outcomes and workforce development efforts reflect real-world transportation and logistics challenges in Arkansas and help shape data-driven solutions that are both technically sound and operationally viable.

We look forward to your voice being part of this important dialogue. Please find attached additional details about the Roundtable. Our goal is to build and support research capabilities that help Arkansas companies stay ahead in a rapidly evolving supply chain landscape.

If you are unable to attend in person, we welcome your recommendation of another member of your team.
