Oklahoma Higher Ed IT Summit
May 18-19, 2026
University of Central Oklahoma
Join us for the Oklahoma Higher Education IT Summit, the state's premier professional development event for IT professionals in public higher education. Sponsored by the OSRHE Council on IT (CoIT), this summit brings together technical staff, managers, and leaders from over 30 public and private colleges and universities across Oklahoma.
This year's theme, "Navigating the Next Horizon," moves our focus from planning to action. We are gathering to share practical "how-to" strategies, implementation case studies, and integration successes. Our goal is to collectively build, secure, and deliver value for a more resilient, intelligent, and human-centered institution.
Presentations and discussions will be centered around four key tracks:
-
The Resilient Institution: Building a seamless, secure, and scalable technology core (Cloud, Security, Networking, IAM).
-
The Intelligent Institution: Harnessing data and AI to drive institutional effectiveness (AI integration, BI, Data Governance, ERP Modernization).
-
The Human-Centered Experience (HX): Designing a seamless digital journey for students, faculty, and staff (Service/Experience Management, Digital Accessibility, Personalized Learning, Classroom Tech, Research Support).
-
The Value-Driven IT Organization: Mastering the "business of IT" (Leadership, Talent, IT Finance, Governance, ITSM).
The summit is FREE for individuals from higher education institutions!
Council on Information Technology
The Council on Information Technology considers technology and related issues affecting Oklahoma higher education, proposes technology and related policy and procedures and serves as the principal statewide advisory council rendering advice and counsel to the Chancellor of the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education, other advisory groups and the entire state system in the review of current and recommended technology and related policy and procedures.
The council also serves as a forum for IT officers to collaborate and partner on contracts, reports and studies focused on achieving efficiencies, and planning for emerging technologies. Membership comprises the principal IT officers from each institutional campus and higher education center (as appropriate) in the state system.
