Meeting/Event Information

Come join us on October 5 and 6, 2026 on the beautiful University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) Campus for the 99th Annual OAHPERD Convention as we #KeepMovingForward! We have a great line-up of sessions for those professionals and future professionals in the areas of health, physical education, recreation, dance, and other fields that promote health and physical literacy for Oklahomans. 

We are excited to have Wes Simmons, President and CEO of 3D Coaching, as our Keynote Speaker!! Wes Simmons, since helping found the 3D Institute in 2014, has been a pivotal figure in expanding the reach of 3D Coaching from its origins in sports to the realms of business and education. As President and CEO, Wes has leveraged his experience playing for championship football teams under 3D Coaches, which instilled in him a deep understanding of transformative leadership and team dynamics. This foundation has guided him in inspiring a diverse array of leaders from across the globe.

Under Wes’s leadership, the 3D Coaching framework has impacted lives in over 60 countries, demonstrating its versatility and effectiveness beyond sports. Wes’s dynamic presentations have resonated with leaders across various sectors, from arts and athletics to business and education, sharing the message of empowerment and coaching excellence. Wes and his wife Amy, along with their four children, Andrea, Jason, Coy, and Caleb, reside in St. Joseph, MO.

We will also be offering a boxed lunch option for professional, retired, or emeritus attendees on Monday, October 5. The cost of the lunch is $15.00, and is a separate ticket item that must be added to your cart when you select your registration. We have 4 options for attendees to choose from and it will be delivered prior to the lunch break to help you avoid the long wait lines at the Nigh University Center or from having to leave the campus.
