Unlike traditional trade shows, our curated one-day event connects you directly with top brands, treatments, and revenue-building insights.
Step into a space built for spa leaders like you—where discovery meets connection.
Be inspired by new brands, uncover emerging trends, and leave with strategies that drive revenue and results.

Spark is an intimate leadership retreat for senior spa & hospitality executives to build trusted relationships, exchange real business insight, and return home with clarity, confidence, and direction.
This is not your typical retreat event. It’s a curated leadership retreat where the strongest spa businesses are built through deep connection, shared perspective, and intentional conversation - with peers who truly understand your challenges and ambitions.
A retreat perfect for: Prestige spa, hospitality, and corporate leaders shaping guest experience and wellness strategy. U.S.-based buyers. Limited availability.

One immersive retreat experience. The right leaders. The right ideas. Hands-on learning, restorative wellness, brand discovery, and meaningful connection so you can return to your spa with clarity, confidence, and fresh momentum.





Built around the theme One Love, One Vision, this intimate gathering unites 100+ of the top 1% of spa and wellness leaders who believe our industry is stronger when we move forward together. In a time of rapid change, digital overload, and increasing pressure on teams, leadership can feel isolating. This room changes that. You will explore how to turn disruption into opportunity, lead with emotional intelligence in a digital first world, reduce burnout, align culture with performance, and create measurable impact through community and collaboration.
More than inspiration, this is shared perspective at the highest level. When the right leaders align around one vision, the ripple effect extends far beyond individual properties and into the future of wellness itself. If you care about shaping what comes next rather than reacting to it, you want to be in this room.

You've got questions, we've got answers!
Spark is created for spa directors, resort wellness leaders, general managers, and executive-level professionals who oversee spa programming, guest experience, operations, or brand partnerships. The summit is ideal for leaders who want to elevate their strategic thinking and connect with peers at the highest level of luxury wellness.
Spark blends leadership development, immersive wellness experiences, and curated brand discovery in one intimate environment. The summit is centered on collaboration, reflection, and practical insight, giving you both professional growth and personal renewal. Attendees consistently share that Spark offers deeper connection and higher-value conversations compared to traditional conferences.
Spark is intentionally kept intimate. The event hosts a curated group of spa executives and premium wellness brands. This structure ensures you have real time to connect, participate in conversations, and experience programming without feeling rushed.
Yes. Spark includes guided wellness immersions, experiential treatments, and hands-on product evaluations. These experiences help you understand what will resonate with your guests and how each modality can elevate your spa’s offerings.
Spark is relaxed luxury. Attendees typically wear comfortable resort attire during sessions and wellness experiences. Evening receptions are elevated but not formal. We encourage breathable fabrics, sandals, and anything that allows you to move comfortably throughout the day.
Yes. Many properties send two leaders so they can divide sessions, reflect together, and return home with aligned strategy. Space is limited, so early registration is recommended.
Registration covers leadership sessions, wellness immersions, brand discovery experiences, daily breakfast and lunch, evening receptions, and all summit materials. Accommodations and travel are separate unless your sponsor package includes them.
Brands participate in Spark by joining sessions, immersions, and conversations with leaders throughout the summit. The environment is natural and relationship-driven, allowing you to evaluate partnerships, learn from each other, and begin meaningful connections that support long-term growth.
After registering, you will receive a link to book with our preferred group rate at Half Moon Resort. We recommend booking early to secure the room type you prefer and to ensure your stay aligns with the summit schedule.
Half Moon is a family-friendly property, but the summit itself is a professional event. Partners and families are welcome to enjoy the resort during the day, but only registered attendees may join Spark programming.
