The North Saskatoon Business Association (NSBA) holds an annual networking/entertainment/educational event they call "Lessons I've Learned". The conference is an opportunity for Saskatoon business people, stakeholders, and students to get together and discuss the challenges and rewards of basing your business in Saskatoon.

"Lessons I’ve Learned has quickly become a darling of NSBA programming for the NSBA membership and business community overall. Held in early October, Lessons I’ve Learned is a unique networking/entertainment/educational event with an overall informal, enjoyable atmosphere. The event features four business and community leaders who typically are modest and tend to shy away from the limelight. It is the responsibility of the Lessons I’ve Learned committee to source and convince these leaders to agree to sit on the four-person panel. "

The Hanlon Centre for International Business Studies has three times sponsored this event and further encouraged student participation. The last forum was held 8 February 2012. Watch the NSBA website for the next forum.
