We hold SUBExcel in cities around the country, attracting a slightly different audience and vibe each year. It keeps the convention exciting, unique, and one more great way to meet new people in the industry. No matter where you’re from, businesses have similar woes and worries – just maybe a slightly different flavor.

With SUBExcel in Oklahoma City, September 13-15, we thought it’s high time to take this Always Something Awesome moment, and show you what’s in store for you OUTSIDE of the convention area.

We’ll start near and continue in an ever increasing radius.

1. The hotel itself. Who WOULDN’T want to stay in a water park (other than Elphaba)? And the brand new OKANA Resort & Water park is the newest kid on the block.

Stroll along the Bricktown River Walk Park at your own pace. You can also catch a baseball game at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The area is home to a plethora of public art, museums, and galleries, making it one of Oklahoma City’s most vibrant arts districts and a great attraction year-round.
