Where to Find Upcoming Oklahoma Bar Association Events and Register

The Oklahoma Bar Association lists upcoming events on okbar.org in two places: a short "Upcoming Events" block on the homepage and a full "Events" page reached through the "View All" link at the end of that block. Registration happens on the individual event listing or through the dedicated registration link shown for major events — for example, the homepage currently carries a "Register Now for 2026 OBA Annual Meeting" prompt. You do not need to log in to browse events, but some registrations may route through MyOKBAR, the member portal.

What the homepage shows

The homepage event block is a preview, not a complete calendar. At the time of the site snapshot it displayed:

The list is cut off after the November 3 entry, which is why the "View All" link matters — the homepage only surfaces the next few items.

Step-by-step: find an event and register

1. Start at okbar.org. The homepage loads the "Upcoming Events" block below the main navigation.
2. Scan the preview. Each entry gives a date, event name, and street address. Section names in the title (Estate Planning, Probate and Trust; Government and Administrative Law) tell you which OBA section is hosting.
3. Open the full calendar. Select "View All" at the bottom of the event block to see the complete list rather than the truncated preview.
4. Open the specific event. The event page carries the details you need before committing: exact time, format (in-person at the Oklahoma City address or otherwise), cost if any, and the registration control.
5. Register. Use the registration link or button on the event page. For the Annual Meeting, the homepage banner ("Register Now for 2026 OBA Annual Meeting") goes directly to registration.
6. Confirm. Watch for a confirmation email or a registration record in MyOKBAR. If you are a member and the event carries MCLE credit, check that the credit appears in your MCLE record afterward.

Expected result: you hold a confirmed spot and, for CLE-bearing events, a record that supports your MCLE reporting.

Major events and volunteer opportunities

• 2026 OBA Annual Meeting. The homepage promotes registration with a "Register Now" link. This is the association's flagship gathering; register early if you need a hotel block or want specific CLE sessions, since popular tracks fill first.
• Heroes Day, Nov. 11. The site carries a "Volunteer for Heroes Day on Nov. 11" prompt with a registration link. This is a volunteer program, not a CLE seminar — the relevant question is whether you can commit the day, not what credit it earns.
• Section and committee meetings. Lunch-and-learns and section meetings (Estate Planning, Probate and Trust; Government and Administrative Law; Military Assistance Committee) appear in the same feed. These are typically smaller and may have different registration mechanics than the Annual Meeting.

Writing for the Bar Journal as an alternative path

The homepage also promotes "Write for the Bar Journal and Get MCLE!" — a route to CLE credit that does not require attending an event. If your goal is credit rather than networking, this is worth comparing against the event calendar: writing takes longer but is schedule-flexible, while events give you the credit in a single block of time. The site links to details on submission requirements.

Common snags

• Treating the homepage preview as the whole calendar. It is truncated; always follow "View All" before concluding an event isn't listed.
• Assuming all events are in Oklahoma City. The preview entries share the 1901 N. Lincoln Boulevard address, but confirm the location on each event page — section events and the Annual Meeting may be held elsewhere.
• Missing the registration deadline. Registration links stay visible on the homepage even as the event approaches; open the event page for the actual cutoff.
• Expecting member pricing without checking. The site snapshot does not publish fees. Check the event page or registration form for cost and any member/non-member difference rather than assuming.
• Looking for CLE credit confirmation in the wrong place. Registration is not the same as credit posting; verify in your MCLE record after the event.

If you can't find what you need

The homepage includes a "Have A Question? Contact OK Bar" link for questions the calendar doesn't answer — useful for registration problems, accessibility needs, or confirming whether a specific event qualifies for CLE. Members can also check MyOKBAR for registered events and credit history.
