The Financial Education in Oklahoma Conference will bring together financial education service providers and stakeholders to learn about programs offered in the state, share experiences, and identify new strategies and resources to support your financial education efforts. This year's conference will include more concurrent session options than last year's conference and an expanded resource fair to provide you with even more information and training opportunities!

The new legislation (HB1476) in Oklahoma requiring financial education in public schools will be highlighted during the conference as it provides a foundation for expanding financial education throughout the state. This and other state and federal policy initiatives, financial education programs and the opportunities they offer for the financial education field will be explored in depth throughout the conference.

Speakers and trainers from national and local organizations will also discuss:
  • Innovative approaches to promote financial empowerment among diverse clients,
  • Program designs and practices that you can incorporate into your work,
  • Unique perspectives on new policies, issues and trends in financial education and how they affect your community, and
  • Opportunities for engaging new partners in efforts to expand financial education to all Oklahomans.
The conference will include presentations, panels, and participatory training on topics of interest to organizations serving clients of all ages.
