Oklahoma Restaurant Association Expo

The ORA Expo at the Oklahoma City Convention Center is considered the best opportunity of the year for hospitality professionals to connect with more than 150 food and equipment manufacturers, and a range of other suppliers who are eager to feature products and services to help you reach that next level of success. The ORA Expo is a private-industry trade-show. 
 
What a great opportunity to make it a "week of hospitality" as you move through the exhibit hall, break for educational content, and support local competing chefs striving to be a Champion. If that's not enough stay for the evening and gather for the biggest overall hospitality celebration of the year as ORA partners with the Oklahoma Hotel & Lodging Association and Oklahoma Travel Industry Association for the Oklahoma Hospitality Leaders Dinner held the first evening immediately following the ORA Expo. ​
