Downtown Oklahoma City, anchored by the convention center and adjacent Scissortail Park, is a connected, walkable, energizing place to meet.

Step confidently into 2026 in Oklahoma City—where meetings aren’t just easy to plan; they’re energizing to attend. In the heart of downtown, the Oklahoma City Convention Center anchors a seamless meeting campus beside the 70-acre Scissortail Park and the attached Omni Oklahoma City Hotel. Together, they create a connected, walkable environment for strategy sessions, executive retreats, and kickoff celebrations that inspire big ideas.

For meeting planners, Visit OKC’s expert team ensures every detail runs effortlessly—from hotel sourcing and off-site venues to transportation and logistics—so you can focus on engagement and outcomes. Attendees will find convenience at every turn, thanks to OKC’s modern streetcar system that links 22 stops across downtown and midtown’s vibrant districts.

Beyond the boardroom, Oklahoma City blends modern innovation with genuine hospitality.

New developments, including the OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark and two forthcoming sports arenas, add even more excitement for planners looking to pair business with unforgettable experiences.
