Downtown's deliberate rebuild

Oklahoma City's downtown investment over the past three decades was intentional civic strategy, not organic growth, and it shows in venue quality. Planners who haven't visited recently often underestimate what's available here.

Spring storms, practically

Confirm the venue's severe weather shelter procedure and give it to your speaker in writing before the event. If sirens sound during your programme, the room moves to shelter without discussion, and a speaker who tries to keep talking through it will misread the room badly.
