Business Development Resources (BDR) announced the keynote speakers for SPARK 2027, its annual learning and networking conference for contractors. Known as The Ultimate Event for Contractors, the three-day event will be held Jan. 14-16 at the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort in Palm Springs, California.

Business leaders Greg Offner and Adam Markel will present actionable insights as SPARK’s keynotes next year.

“Since 2022, SPARK has offered thousands of home service contractors a premier space to learn from world-class speakers,” said Tammy Vasquez, vice president of coaching BDR. “Bringing Greg and Adam to Palm Springs next January helps solidify our session lineup and ensure SPARK 2027 is our most impactful yet.”

A results-driven business leader, Offner specializes in accelerating leadership capabilities, elevating performance and cultivating essential soft skills. His dynamic, collaborative methodology seamlessly fuses sharp business acumen with active audience participation, complemented by his distinct experience as a professional dueling pianist.

Wall Street Journal bestselling author, workforce futurist and resilience researcher Markel will deliver a high-impact keynote focused on leadership, navigating change and building stronger organizations. Drawing from proven business experience, Markel will provide attendees with a practical, future-ready blueprint for cultivating organizational resilience and thriving through uncertainty.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive a day early to take full advantage of exclusive pre-conference activities, including both ServiceTitan workshop and FieldEdge session, with more information to come as details are finalized. Another pre-event opportunity is the SPARK golf tournament with an 8 a.m. shotgun start on Wednesday, Jan. 13 at Indian Wells Golf Resort, a lauded top California golf property adjacent to the Grand Hyatt. The $350 cost per golfer includes tournament admission, two drink tickets and a boxed lunch.
