National Conference
Thank you for a successful conference, and we hope to see you next year!
October 4-7, 2026
Hotel Valley Ho, Scottsdale, AZ
SPARC is celebrating 10 years of empowering auxiliary leaders, and we want you to be part of this milestone event! Our 2025 National Conference will be our biggest yet, and we’re looking for dynamic, engaging, and innovative sessions led by professionals from auxiliary programs like yours. We’re looking for timely, relevant, and impactful sessions that:
- Provide actionable takeaways that attendees can apply to their programs
- Introduce fresh ideas and best practices that spark new thinking
- Engage and inspire auxiliary professionals in meaningful ways
Join us at the 2025 National Conference for our annual gathering of auxiliary professionals, from those just beginning their careers to seasoned experts in auxiliary leadership! SPARC was founded with the knowledge that successful summer/auxiliary programming requires a unique combination of skills by leaders who often work in relative isolation within their own schools. At SPARC's National Conference, you'll learn from industry thought-leaders and have enriching conversations with peers, all in an atmosphere of innovation and camaraderie.
Our conference will address the wide range of summer/auxiliary program responsibilities, encompassing human resources, marketing, business management, innovation and entrepreneurship, programming, operations, and technology. Through our rich program content, diverse networking opportunities, and engaging discussions, attendees will develop clear action plans to implement immediately in their own programs.
Be sure to check our Schedule page for information about our Opening Ignite Speaker and other details as our 2025 program development continues.
