About the Summit
Oklahoma's AI Conversation — At the Table That Matters
The OKAIR Fall AI Summit brings together Oklahoma's most influential business, government, and higher education leaders for a full day of substantive, cross-sector engagement on artificial intelligence. This is not a developers conference. It is a leadership convening — designed for the executives, elected officials, and institutional leaders who are making decisions today that will shape Oklahoma's economic competitiveness for the next decade.
Presented by the OK AI Roundtable — Oklahoma's neutral, industry-led AI organization — the Summit is where strategy gets made, relationships get built, and Oklahoma's AI ecosystem takes a meaningful step forward together.
Format
Full-day plenary sessions plus three concurrent breakout tracks tailored to different leadership roles and experience levels.
Audience
C-suite executives, elected officials, agency directors, university presidents, and senior leaders across Oklahoma's private and public sectors.
Outcome
Attendees leave with a clearer understanding of AI's implications for their organization and a stronger network of Oklahoma peers navigating the same landscape.
