The Tulsa Metro Chamber isn’t just one of the first Tulsa organizations to get an application on the iPhone, it is the first chamber of commerce in the country to do so.

The application, simply called Tulsa Metro Chamber, recently went live on Apple’s App Store. The feature, which can be downloaded for free, includes a searchable directory of chamber members, news and a calendar of events.

Chamber officials credited Cubic, a local creative firm, for coming up with the idea and developing the app.

“Cubic proactively did the research and sought out the programming approval,” said Sheila Curley, vice president of communications.

Billy Kulkin, Cubic’s president and managing partner, said the app is a way to keep the Tulsa chamber ahead of the curve.

“We want to train the members to use the iPhone app in order to obtain the right information at the right time,” he said.

Work on an update already has begun.
