The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber will host its October Chamber Forum, highlighting the economic impact of the equine and livestock industries in the Greater Oklahoma City region, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, October 16 at the Petroleum Club. Oklahoma City is known as the Horse Show Capital of the World, hosting 13 marquee equine events in Fiscal Year ‘24, along with two marquee livestock events. This title is further exemplified by the arrival of key players in the equine and livestock industries, with Professional’s Choice serving as a primary example of this growth. Professional’s Choice, a leader in equine sports medicine products, relocated its corporate headquarters from Southern California to Oklahoma City nearly one year ago, in late 2023. The relocation of headquarters to Oklahoma City provided the company with a larger warehouse, proximity to customers and access to a highly skilled workforce. The company’s move from California to Oklahoma City highlights Oklahoma City’s reputation as a prime location for the equine and livestock industries, which continue to grow and thrive. To discuss the economic impact these industries have on the region, the October Chamber Forum will feature a panel of key industry leaders: Jerry Reynolds, President, Oklahoma National Stockyards; Billy Smith, Commissioner, National Reining Horse Association; Kirk Slaughter, President and CEO, OK State Fair; Blayne Arthur, Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture; and Jeff Tebow, CEO, Heritage Place. The panel will be moderated by horse enthusiast Rhonda Hooper, President & CEO, Jordan Advertising. October Chamber Forum to explore economic impact of equine and livestock Industries
