It’s our way of saying thank you for everything you do to inspire growth and make a difference.

Why You Should Join Us:

Connect with Great People: Catch up with old friends and meet new ones who “get” what it’s like to be in talent development.
Celebrate Your Impact: This is all about YOU—because the work you do matters, and it’s time to celebrate that.
Relax and Have Fun: Enjoy a laid-back evening with great company, light snacks, and good vibes.

No presentations, no pitches—just a chance to connect, unwind, and be appreciated for all the awesome work you do. Whether you’re new to the field or a long-time pro, we’d love to see you there!

Come Celebrate With Us!
Bring your smiles, your stories, and your love for all things talent development. RSVP today, and let’s make this summer one to remember.

The Human Edge

Dear ATD Central Oklahoma Community,

We are proud to continue the OK Talent Summit—a statewide gathering created for learning, talent, and organizational development professionals who are passionate about shaping the future of work.

As AI continues to transform the way we live and work, we're excited to announce this year's theme: The Human Edge.

Join us for a full day packed with intentional conversations focused on the uniquely human qualities that technology can't replace—leadership, creativity, connection, innovation, emotional intelligence, and purpose. Together, we'll strengthen the skills that set people apart, empowering us to lead with confidence in an ever-evolving world.

The Human Edge isn't about competing with AI—it's about amplifying what makes us uniquely human.
