Spark Executive Forum
Presented exlcusively by Yates
Next session: May 13-14, 2026 Napa
Most executive events play it safe.
Spark is different because Yates is different.
Spark is how we give back to our ecosystem, creating a space for real-time knowledge sharing and bold problem-solving among leaders who don’t have time for guesswork. Every moment is intentional. Every topic hits where it matters most: business transformation, innovation, cost pressure, leadership evolution, and more.
No analysts, press, or posturing. Just peers in a private, think-tank setting that cuts through the noise.
Exclusivity
A handpicked cohort of leaders from influential organizations.
Content
Topics shaped by executives for executives that are real and relevant.
Mind and Muscle
Strategy, innovation, and practical action take on real-time challenges.
Experience
World-class dinners, venues, and high-caliber participants.
