The Oklahoma Restaurant Association, Oklahoma Hotel and Lodging Association, and the Oklahoma Travel Industry Association are excited to bring back, by popular demand, an event that celebrates and unites the vibrant hospitality Industry in Oklahoma!
Mark your calendars for August 28th at the Oklahoma City Convention Center, where hospitality professionals from across the state will gather for an unforgettable evening of networking and celebration. We are thrilled to host the 2nd annual Oklahoma Hospitality Leaders Dinner, a key initiative designed to amplify the collective voice and impact of Oklahoma’s hospitality sector—the third-largest industry in our state. This highly anticipated event will bring together leaders from restaurants, hotels, and tourism in a remarkable display of unity, leadership, and shared purpose. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this growing tradition as we strengthen connections and collaboration across Oklahoma’s hospitality industry! The Oklahoma Hospitality Leaders Dinner is a gathering of leaders throughout the hospitality industry, and is an exclusive opportunity for restaurant, lodging and tourism members of the ORA, OHLA and OTIA, as well as ORA EXPO exhibitors to showcase solidarity and engage with elected officials. This year's programming will include the inaugural Oklahoma Hospitality Hall of Fame awards as bestowed from the restaurant, hotel and tourism industries, along with Legislator of the Year Awards, and a special keynote from Senator James Lankford. ORA Exhibitors should contact Andrea Dancer at [email protected] to claim their complimentary seat allotment. Non-exhibiting members who wish to register should do so at this link. We encourage everyone to secure their seats early. Pre-registration is required no later than August 18! |
