2026 IT Summit

Navigating the Next Horizon for a Resilient, Intelligent, and Human-Centered Institution

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:

1. The Resilient Institution: Building a seamless, secure, and scalable technology core (Cloud, Security, Networking, IAM).

2. The Intelligent Institution: Harnessing data and AI to drive institutional effectiveness (AI integration, BI, Data Governance, ERP Modernization).

3. 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).

4. The Value-Driven IT Organization: Mastering the “business of IT” (Leadership, Talent, IT Finance, Governance, ITSM).
