What is Connect?
Connect is an annual series of Oklahoma business gatherings dedicated to engaging entrepreneurs, start-ups, industry professionals, and small business owners throughout the state. Each event offers opportunities to expand networks, build partnerships, access key resources, and connect with vendors and suppliers. Connect serves as a hub where aspirations intertwine with possibilities, and where the landscape of commerce takes on new dimensions. Connect 2026 includes two small business luncheons, one summit, one reception, and the Oklahoma Business Expo.
