“NOBA really is the Academy Awards of business in Northern Ontario. Being a black-tie celebration of the North’s entrepreneurial elite, it is also a back-slapping gathering of the region’s business, community development and political ‘movers and shakers’.” – Patricia Mills, Publisher, Northern Ontario Business


The awards gala is widely regarded as Northern Ontario’s largest gathering of movers and shakers – the perfect venue for 500+ delegates to network and connect business-to-business. This year’s gala returns to North Bay on October 3, 2013 and we invite you to join us in celebrating business excellence in the North.
