About Convention

The annual convention and trade show draws roughly 2,000 delegates and guests from across the province and provides SARM members the opportunity to gather as a whole to vote on and debate resolutions, discuss current issues, and participate in dialogue sessions with provincial and federal government officials. 

The 2026 SARM Annual Convention and Trade Show was held on March 10-12, 2026, at REAL District in Regina in the International Trade Centre (ITC).

About Trade Show

The SARM annual convention dates back over a hundred years. The trade show has become a signature event that draws our rural municipal leaders. We appreciate the partnerships we’ve developed with our trade show exhibitors as they help advance rural Saskatchewan and support the work of rural municipal government. In challenging times like now, we welcome your continued support for rural Saskatchewan.

Sponsorship

SARM has seen tremendous growth and opportunity over the last century, in large part due to the partnerships with sponsors we have built over the years. SARM’s annual convention and trade show is the largest of its kind in Saskatchewan and offers a prime opportunity for exposure to rural municipal leaders from across the province. We are interested in building custom sponsorship opportunities to help align and showcase your company to rural Saskatchewan.

We were proud to partner with a host of companies for the 2026 annual convention – check out the 2026 sponsors.

If you are interested in becoming a SARM annual and/or midterm convention sponsor, please email convention@sarm.ca to receive a package. We are always looking for new and exciting partners.
