The company, which operates the World Trade Centre Saskatoon at Prairieland Park, announced that the now eight-year-old convention will go ahead at the venue from Sept. 11-13, 2020.

For 2021, the event will be re-branded as the Saskatoon Entertainment Expo and will be moved to dates in April, with an extra evening added on.

The company said in a media release that previous event owners Chris Bernhard and Mike Fisher would be helping with the transition and that the pair opted to sell because they “wanted to grow the event beyond what their current resources would allow.”
