Oklahoma IT Symposium scheduled for Aug. 19–20 in Tulsa
The Oklahoma IT Symposium is scheduled for Aug. 19–20, 2026, at the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center, bringing a training day and a main symposium to Tulsa for the state’s information-technology community.
The two-day event is organized around professional development and discussion of emerging technology trends. Aug. 19 is designated for training sessions, while the main IT symposium is set for Aug. 20.
The organizer says the event is designed for Oklahoma’s IT community and does not require an invitation. Its stated aims include strengthening technical leadership, expanding professional networks and addressing emerging technology trends.
Training first, main symposium the next day
The schedule separates the event into one training day and one symposium day. That structure gives attendees a designated date for training before the main gathering begins the following day.
The organizer lists Shawnee Delaney and Chris Chism as keynote speakers. The available event information does not include a complete agenda, so specific session subjects, formats and times have not been detailed in the approved material.
Likewise, the event’s technology focus is described broadly. The symposium is presented as a forum for technical leadership, professional networking and emerging technology trends, rather than as an announcement of a particular product, research result or technology deployment.
What is known — and what is not
The confirmed development is the scheduled gathering in Tulsa: a two-day event with training planned for Aug. 19 and the main symposium planned for Aug. 20. The Renaissance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center is the listed venue.
At this stage, the available information does not provide an attendance projection. It also does not identify a full agenda or narrow the event to particular technologies. As a result, the listing supports the event’s dates, venue, broad purpose and keynote lineup, but not claims about the size of the gathering or the specific tools and topics that may be discussed.
For IT workers and leaders, the scheduled event provides a statewide setting for training and professional connection. It is not, based on the available listing, evidence of a new technology investment, government policy action or measured performance result.
Next dates
Training sessions are scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2026. The main Oklahoma IT Symposium is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, at the Tulsa venue.
