Connecting the people
building Northwest Arkansas
Northwest Arkansas is one of America's fastest-growing regions. CDN NWA is the home for the people building it — uniting the entire construction and development industry behind one network, one standard, one region.
Free & exclusive for the founding class. No cost to join — just a seat at the table before the rest of the industry arrives.

Build real relationships with the contractors, developers, and decision-makers shaping the region.

Lead
Help shape the standard for how our industry connects, competes, and builds together.
United by purpose.
Built for growth.
Northwest Arkansas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country. Every month, more dirt moves, more steel rises, and more of tomorrow's skyline takes shape. But the people making it happen have never had a single place to come together.
CDN NWA is that place. A neutral home for the entire industry — from the developers and general contractors who lead the work to the engineers, suppliers, trades, and partners who make it real. One network for everyone who builds.
Building one of America's next great cities.
And the people who build it deserve an organization as ambitious as the region they're creating.
Mission
To connect, equip, and elevate the people and companies building Northwest Arkansas.
Vision
To be the organization that represents the entire construction and development industry of the region.
Values
Integrity. Collaboration. Excellence. Community. The standard we hold ourselves to.
Impact
Stronger relationships, stronger businesses, and a stronger Northwest Arkansas.
One industry. One network.
Every other group serves one slice of the industry. CDN NWA is the only place the entire value chain sits in the same room — the developer, the GC, the engineer, the banker, and the crew on site. If you help build Northwest Arkansas, you belong here.
…and everyone else with a hand in shaping the region. The list grows as the industry does.
Networking is just the beginning.

Get in before
the industry does.
The founding class is the first group of leaders to put their name behind CDN NWA — and they'll always be recognized as the ones who started it. It's free, it's exclusive, and it closes when we launch to the public.
- First access to every event, before the public
- Recognition on the founding members wall
- A real voice in shaping how CDN NWA is built
- Direct line to the people leading the region
- Founding status that never expires
Put your brand at the center of it.
A small group of founding sponsors will help launch CDN NWA — and be recognized as the companies that backed the region's building industry from day one. If you want your brand in front of the people who decide what gets built in Northwest Arkansas, let's talk.
Founding sponsorship is limited and handled personally. Tell us a bit about you and we'll reach out.
