Gathering history
Our previous gathering took place Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 5:30–9 PM Central, with the program at 6:30 PM, at The Office in Bricktown. Its invitation and program are preserved here as history.

The October announcement scheduled three operating teams to meet accredited investors for discussions about acreage, well budgets, drilling plans, risks and next steps.
The organizer’s October program also described potential same-year deductions for eligible drilling and equipment costs. This is historical program information; tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and qualified advice.
November attendance, invitations and program details are confirmed separately with Matt Laird. Historical attendance and private registration records remain separate.

7:05Hear it from Matt Laird
Travelin' Matt Hill sat down with Matt Laird for Oilfield Tailgate to explain the idea: bring Oklahoma operating teams and accredited investors together in a focused, invitation only setting to walk through real projects, funding structures and risk. Then take questions without turning the evening into a sales pitch.
The conversation covers the monthly vision for Field & Capital and why both people attending for the first time and experienced oil and gas professionals can benefit from hearing several investment approaches explained side by side.
