According to attendees

When you attend Spark, you will learn something that you did not know that Cornerstone is capable of. And if your experience is like mine, you will find that that one thing will be a game-changer for your organization.

Marcie Miller

Global HR Business Partner and Head of Talent Development, Kemin Industries

Cornerstone Spark really embodies the power of imagination. I think it's a place where you can come to imagine new ideas, solve problems in different ways, and connect with others. And that's a really special place to be.

Dr. Jamie Cruz

Director, Learning & Organizational Development, County of Orange, California

Spark London has been absolutely an eye opener for me. I think I'm going to go back and speak with my CSM to see what more can we explore and then build a roadmap to get to Galaxy.

Parul Varghese

Global Learning & Organization Development Leader, Xceedance

The classes themselves are invaluable for me, particularly with regards to AI. We had the talk this morning with [Laszlo Bock], and he talked about how AI is changing the landscape of the future of the workforce. That was really incredible.

Lee Baxter

Business Systems Analyst, DoorDash

One of my biggest takeaways is the fact that the bundle is really available at a price that should be very beneficial to Cornerstone's customers.

Brian O'Geary

Community Training Center Manager, ECU Health

I think attending Cornerstone Spark is pretty critical to see what's up and coming. Being ready for change and what's coming next is paramount to our continued success, both strategically and tactically.
