areas that match the city’s strengths. Its convention sales team is targeting industry-specific meetings and has introduced a proposal tool highlighting local experiences. A Customer Advisory Board will also increase stakeholder input. OKC’s sports strategy continues to position the city as a hub for major events. Visit OKC is working with partners to create a framework for large-scale hosting—covering volunteer coordination, citywide signage, transportation planning and event activations. Upcoming venues will expand possibilities for future bids and bring new conversations to the table, supporting local jobs and strengthening ties between the visitor economy and hospitality industry. Infrastructure and amenities remain central to sustaining this growth. Visitors increasingly seek meaningful experiences, and continued investment in dining, attractions and walkable districts will help OKC stay competitive in meetings and travel trade sectors. OKC offers this with venues like the Convention Center, Scissortail Park, Bricktown Ballpark, RIVERSPORT, a new arena and multipurpose stadium—all within walking distance or connected via Streetcar. The collaboration that results from Visit OKC as a part of the Greater OKC Chamber, and the strong partnership between the organization and the City of Oklahoma is an essential element of our success. By
aligning goals and sharing insight, OKC can attract the right events and businesses citywide. OKC’s cooperative mindset remains one of its greatest strengths. The path forward is not only about increasing visitation but creating an environment that encourages repeat visits— and ensures residents benefit from the same experiences that bring others here.
