As part of OPSA's mission, the association seeks to enable political scientists to create an intellectually stimulating environment  conducive to teaching, research, and practice in all fields of political science. In this spirit, OPSA sponsors an annual conference in November. It provides an important forum for political scientists and policy practitioners to network and present their work, along with other pertinent and useful resources.

The 2011 Oklahoma Political Science Annual meeting featured Brigid Harrison (Ph.D.) as the keynote speaker. In her keynote speech, she talked about the paradigm shift in society and among students that influenced the writing of American Democracy.
