Mensa has many events for members, from the local to the international level. Several countries hold a large event called the Annual Gathering (AG). It is held in a different city every year, with speakers, dances, leadership workshops, children's events, games, and other activities. The American AG is usually held during the [[Independence Day (United States)|American Independence Day]] (4 July).<ref>{{Cite web |title=American Mensa's Annual Gathering {{!}} July 2-6, 2025 |url=https://ag.us.mensa.org/ |access-date=2024-12-02 |website=ag.us.mensa.org |language=en}}</ref>

Since 1990, American Mensa has sponsored the annual Mensa Mind Games competition, at which the [[Mensa Select]] award is given to five board games that are "original, challenging, and well designed".<ref>{{Cite news |url= https://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-05-21-mensa_x.htm |title= Mensa still plays mind games after 60 years |access-date= 16 January 2007 |first= Tracy |last= Loew |date= 21 May 2006 |work= USA Today |archive-date= 7 January 2007 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070107230511/http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-05-21-mensa_x.htm |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.sptimes.com/2005/04/22/news_pf/Northoftampa/Brainiac_Central.shtml |title= Brainiac Central |access-date= 16 January 2007 |first= Anne |last= Arsenault |date= 22 April 2005 |work= [[St. Petersburg Times]] |archive-date= 11 January 2009 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090111021838/http://www.sptimes.com/2005/04/22/news_pf/Northoftampa/Brainiac_Central.shtml |url-status= live }}</ref>
