Hospitality Day & A Tasteful Affair Legislative Reception

Event

Online registration for Hospitality Day at the Capitol and a "Tasteful Affair" Legislative Reception has closed. To register, please call Lacey Pierson at the ORA office at 405-942-8181. 

The "Tasteful Affair" Legislative Reception will take place April 20, 2022 at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. 

The hospitality industry is the driving force in Oklahoma’s economy, generating enormous tax revenues, providing jobs for hundreds of thousands of Oklahomans, and giving time and money back to their communities. At the same time, it’s vital that we maintain good relations with legislators so that our perspective on various bills and issues is given thoughtful consideration.

On April 20, 2022 members of the Oklahoma Restaurant Association, Oklahoma Hotel & Lodging Association, and Oklahoma Travel Industry Association will join forces for Hospitality Day at the Capitol, a members-only event where we will spend time speaking to legislators about issues facing our industry. 

Then we'll mingle with more than 500 members and legislators while we do what we do best - show these leaders Oklahoma hospitality! - at a bigger and better-than-ever “A Tasteful Affair” Legislative Reception. 2022 marks the 33rd anniversary of "A Tasteful Affair" and will feature several of Oklahoma’s finest restaurants showcasing their culinary tastings and craft beer at what is heralded as the state’s most successful and best attended legislative reception.
