Event director Ashlee Dunahoo said the summit will feature four tracks, keynote addresses, live demos and a pitch contest organized by the Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce with Startup Junkie.

Officials in Benton and Washington counties have staged equipment and warned residents to avoid driving into high water as storms approach today — creeks and rivers are running high after several days of heavy rain, and road crews are on standby to clear hazards.
