SPARK Toronto 2026
About this Event
Designed to move beyond passive learning, SPARK fosters meaningful, face-to-face engagement with those driving organizational and cultural transformation across Canada and globally.
This is not a “sit and listen” event that can be replicated online. SPARK Toronto 2026 is a dynamic, in-room experience focused on practical strategies, peer exchange, and actionable insights for organizations ready to invest in the next generation of inclusion leadership.
This Year’s Theme: Employee Groups
Employee Groups have long been a cornerstone of workplace inclusion—but their role is rapidly evolving. From grassroots community-building spaces to strategic drivers of organizational change, ERGs are increasingly being called upon to influence talent development, inform business strategy, and respond to a complex and shifting socio-political landscape.
SPARK Toronto 2026 will explore how Employee Groups can be resourced, empowered, and integrated into core business functions while maintaining their authenticity and community-driven roots. Through the voices of ERG leaders, executives, and community experts, this year’s event will examine how organizations can unlock the full potential of Employee Groups to advance equity, resilience, and innovation.
