Spark is a networking forum created to bring together the next generation of business professionals to meet new contacts in an informal and friendly setting. Each year Spark organises a series of events designed to provide opportunities to connect with people who are building their professional network. 

Why attend a Spark event:

  • You will meet fellow professionals that are at the same stage of their career as you.
  • You will build your network of contacts in a friendly and informal setting.
  • You will have fun as the Spark events calendar is diverse and inclusive with different events during the year.
  • And importantly, you won’t have to pay as most Spark events are free to attend.
