Each calendar year, the NSBA holds over 40 events for the business community. The majority of these events are luncheons, seminars, and Club Connect breakfasts featuring speakers that are of interest to the NSBA membership and the business community in Saskatoon.
However, the NSBA holds five signature events each year that take the NSBA experience to a new level. All NSBA events offer exceptional networking opportunities and unique programming, but our five signature events go above and beyond and are a true reflection of the spirit and camaraderie that is characteristic of the NSBA.
The NSBA’s signature events are not possible without the help of volunteers and sponsors. Please check out our Sponsorship Opportunities page or contact the NSBA Office to learn more about volunteering for or sponsoring an event.

We welcome you to come soak up that sun (and maybe a couple beverages) while competing in the most fun golf tournament on the circuit. The round is followed by a sumptuous steak dinner, great prizes, and the opportunity to network over missed (and made!) shots on the course.
Learn MoreAnnual Cookout
Hosted at Great Western Brewing Co.’s outdoor patio during Pancake Breakfast week, the NSBA’s Annual Cookout is an opportunity to kick back and relax with good food and good friends. And, don’t worry, it wouldn’t be a trip to a brewery without the opportunity to sip (responsibly) on a cold beer from the Great Western line of products!
Learn MorePopcorn and Entrepreneurship Series
The Popcorn & Entrepreneurship Series, presented by KPMG, tells the story of a high-profile Saskatchewan-based entrepreneur in a documentary-style film. This short film is executive produced and overseen by the NSBA, and shot by a professional video production company. For many, this event is the highlight of the NSBA annual events offered, featuring networking, great food, beverages, popcorn, followed by more networking where you can meet the star!
