Empow­er Your Orga­ni­za­tion’s Next Gen­er­a­tion of Leaders

Cospon­sored by ECIA and ERA, the Spark Pro­fes­sion­al Devel­op­ment Pro­gram offers two com­pelling lev­els designed to help up-and-com­ing pro­fes­sion­als grow their abil­i­ties and advance their careers in the elec­tron­ics com­po­nents indus­try. Your peo­ple will return ener­gized, with valu­able new con­nec­tions, fresh com­pe­ten­cies and prof­itable new ideas to help them — and your busi­ness — grow into a reward­ing future.

Spark is held annu­al­ly at the EDS Lead­er­ship Sum­mit in Las Vegas in May. Par­tic­i­pants are nom­i­nat­ed by their company’s man­age­ment and take part in three days of net­work­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties, career-build­ing sem­i­nars and per­son­al-growth work­shops led by top indus­try experts.

Spark 2.0 is the next step. Held con­cur­rent­ly with the annu­al ECIA Exec­u­tive Con­fer­ence, Spark 2.0 pro­vides par­tic­i­pants an inten­sive sched­ule of advanced sem­i­nars and pre­sen­ta­tions, live­ly round tables with indus­try movers and shak­ers and men­tor­ing opportunities.
