SPARK Series Programs

HRLF's SPARK Series is designed to ignite innovation and inspire leadership.

The SPARK Series consists of Speaker Presentations and Real-world Knowledge Sharing.
We begin with an expert presenting on the latest research and/or innovative HR initiatives and pair that with a robust breakout discussion with peers.

Attendance: HRLF members may attend all programs free of charge (no alternates or substitutions allowed). Nonmembers may attend breakfast programs for a fee. Nonmember registration requests must be submitted in advance; no on-site registrations can be accepted. Nonmember attendance is capped at eight (8) corporate nonmembers and two (2) service provider nonmembers per event, and registration priority is given to HRLF members and their nonmember guests. See our Event Policy for additional information on pricing and attendance.
