Fayetteville Shale Expo a Success


The First Fayetteville Shale Expo was held Friday and Saturday, May 30 and 31, 2008 on campus at the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton. The expo, sponsored by the College and the Conway County Economic Development Corporation, featured members of several key companies involved in the development of the Fayetteville Shale Play and allowed several hundred guests and UACCM students to discover the latest technology, equipment, services and job opportunities in the Fayetteville Shale.
