Expert AMA: Building a Tech Ecosystem People Can Actually Enter

Description

How do you find your place in a city's tech community, and turn showing up into something useful?

Join Techlahoma for a live Expert AMA with Tai Nehisi, Founder + Executive Producer of Tulsa Tech Week + OKC Tech Week.
Thursday, September 17, 2026, noon–1 PM CDT. Free and virtual. Hosted by Sam Carlton, Techlahoma Vice President and board member.
With Tulsa Tech Week starting September 21, we're sitting down with Tai to hear how the week came together, what she learned from its first year, and how developers, students, founders, and curious neighbors can get involved.
Bring your questions about getting started in Tulsa's tech community, turning event conversations into lasting connections, choosing Tech Week events, and helping more people participate. We'll begin with community-submitted questions, then prioritize live audience participation. Collect and vote on advance questions in Techlahoma Slack.
Register and submit an optional advance question at https://luma.com/0oxmfg3o
Registered attendees are encouraged to join Google Meet. Space in the interactive room is limited, but anyone can watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/QWeQ0aJyIZw
This session will be streamed, and the recording will remain publicly available afterward.
