SUMMARY:SPARK Toronto 2026
DESCRIPTION:Find Inspiration. Leave with a new perspective. Spark impactful change. \nSPARK 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. \nThis is not a “sit and listen” event that can be replicated online.

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. \nSPARK 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. \nEvent Objectives:\n\nElevating ERG Impact: Explore leading practices for structuring\, funding\, and scaling Employee Groups as strategic partners within organizations.\nLeadership & Accountability: Examine the role of senior leadership in supporting ERGs and embedding inclusion into governance\, talent pipelines\, and organizational priorities.\nConnection & Community: Create space for meaningful dialogue between ERG leaders\, HR professionals\, and executives to share challenges\, successes\, and emerging approaches.\n\nHOST SPONSOR & LOCATION\n[vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″] \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″] \n\nEY\nEY Tower\n100 Adelaide St W – 40th Floor\nToronto\, ON M5H 0E2 \n[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nAgenda:\n1:30 PM – 2:45 PM: Welcome and Opening Keynotes\n2:45 PM – 3:00 PM: Networking Session / Break\n3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Employee Group Roundtable Discussions\n4:00 PM – 4:15 PM: Networking Session / Break\n4:15 PM – 5:00 PM: The Future of ERGs Panel and Closing\n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Networking Reception \nWhat Makes SPARK Unique?\n\nIntimacy and Access: This is an event where you don’t just hear from the leaders—you meet them.\nEmployee Perspectives: SPARK provides the rare opportunity to engage with advocates and experts from employee resource groups from a variety of organizations.\nFuture-Focused: With a focus on actionable insights\, attendees leave equipped to drive real change within their organizations.\n\nAudience:\n\nEmployee Resource Group Leaders\nExecutive Sponsors\nDEI and HR Professionals\n\nRegistration and Pricing\nLIMITED SEATS – Purchase your tickets as soon as possible.
