Unscripted: The Opening Session at Onward FX
60+ investors. No prepared remarks. An agenda built entirely by you.
Unscripted is the unconference that opens Onward FX. Attendees vote on the topics. The investors on stage share unfiltered perspectives on what they're actually seeing in the market. Real disagreements. Real perspectives. Conversations that go somewhere.
This year, 60+ venture capital firms are coming to Bentonville for the largest gathering of national VCs in Arkansas history. Unscripted puts you in the same room with them for a morning of honest conversation about where capital is going, what's getting funded, and what isn't.
Who's in the room: founders, venture investors, corporate leaders, and ecosystem builders from across the country. Whether or not you have 1:1 investor meetings in the afternoon, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the people shaping where early-stage capital flows next and to be part of the conversation yourself.
