Hello from the beautiful Ozarks. I’m Patrick Reynolds, Director of Sales with Destination Rogers in Rogers, Arkansas. Rogers and Northwest Arkansas were built by visionaries who didn’t just change their industries—they changed the world. From Sam Walton and Walmart to John Tyson and Tyson Foods, and J.B. Hunt and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, these innovators built global businesses from this wooded, picturesque corner of the Natural State. Today, more than 1,400 companies have followed their lead and made Northwest Arkansas their home, creating a thriving destination where business, innovation, and genuine Southern hospitality come together.
I look forward to meeting you at IMEX 2026 and talking more about how Rogers is a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered. See you in Las Vegas.
