Why “BASA Annual Banquet”?

Our annual banquet is the biggest BASA event of the year – and it brings together everything that makes our community special:

Celebration Meets Connection

Awards, Awesome Outfits, and Awesome People – All in one night!

When you join us for the Annual Banquet:

• You celebrate the year’s accomplishments
• You connect with members from every BASA chapter
• You honor outstanding contributions to our community
• You party with the people you’ve networked with all year
• Everyone leaves feeling like part of something bigger

The 80’s Theme

Why the 80’s?

Because nothing brings people together like neon, nostalgia, and a killer playlist! The 80’s theme means:

• Bigger personalities (and bigger hair!)
• Iconic music to set the mood
• Fun costumes that break the ice instantly
• Photo opportunities you’ll never forget
• A dance floor that won’t quit

Come dressed in your 80’s best – and don’t hold back!

Perfect For:

• BASA members ready to celebrate the year
• Future members looking to experience BASA at its best
• Business owners wanting a fun, memorable night out
• Anyone who loves the 80’s, costumes, or just a great party
• Couples and friends looking for an unforgettable date night
• Teams wanting to bring a table of 4 or 8
