Find inspiration. Leave with a new perspective. Spark impactful change.
SPARK is a transformative half-day symposium bringing together Senior Executives, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) leaders, and Human Resources professionals for shared learning, networking, and innovation. This is not a “sit and listen” event that could be replaced with a webinar. SPARK is a must-attend experience that brings together cutting-edge strategies, and actionable insights for businesses ready to elevate their approach to inclusion in Canada and globally.
SPARK and other programs are offered with our Proud Partners’ support. Reach out to Jose Patiño-Gomez (he/him), Director of External Relations, at jose.patino@prideatwork.ca and discover our sponsorship packages and opportunities.

SPARK Vancouver 2025
Elevating 2SLGBTQIA+ Newcomer and Migrant Talent.
Queer and trans communities bring extraordinary creativity, resilience, and innovation to the workforce. Yet, job seekers and employees from these communities—especially those who are newcomers or migrants—often face systemic barriers that limit their recognition and advancement. Too often, they are perceived as “unconventional” hires or encounter stalled career growth despite their capabilities.
SPARK is a celebration and a call to action. This event is dedicated to dismantling those barriers and highlighting the immense, underrecognized potential of 2SLGBTQIA+ newcomers and migrants. By creating space for visibility, dialogue, and connection, SPARK aims to amplify voices, empower careers, and drive change across workplaces and industries.
