We don't need to explain to you that the world is more complex than ever. Change is the only constant, and organizations balance urgency, uncertainty and progress every day.
So how do you keep your course? How do you ensure peace, direction and connectedness — from within?
We believe that the answer starts with strong internal communication. Not as an afterthought, but as a strategic compass.
That's why we'd like to invite you to the spark conference 25
🗓 October 15 & 16
📍 Faculty Club in Leuven — a place that invites you to deepen and connect.
And a special edition, because Vonk is 75 years old. Time to look ahead and celebrate.
Why you want to be here
This two-day event brings communication professionals, leaders and thinkers together around one question:
How can internal communication — especially now — contribute to resilience, connection and leadership?
You'll go home with fresh insights, practical ideas and renewed energy for your role in a world of movement.
