Please Join Us to Celebrate Arkansas' Technology Leaders
We hope that you can join us on the evening of November 7, 2025, at the Chenal Country Club in Little Rock, for the annual Arkansas Academy of Computing dinner.
This is an annual event where we celebrate Arkansans who have made significant contributions to computing/engineering and we also use this time to raise money for scholarships for the NEXT generation of Arkansans going in to STEM fields.
Mayor Frank Scott will be our keynote speaker and we also plan to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the EAST Initiative and the 50th Anniversary of the founding of Arkansas Systems.
This year, we will be honoring the following Arkansans for their achievements in technology.
