SPARK Toronto 2026

Find Inspiration. Leave with a new perspective. Spark impactful change.
SPARK Toronto 2026 is an exclusive, interactive event that convenes business leaders and 2SLGBTQIA+ changemakers to explore the evolving role of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Affinity Networks in shaping inclusive workplaces. 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.
