Meet our Planners: ✨Sue Summers, Event Strategist✨
What brought you to Spark Collective?
Anh reached out to me on LinkedIn, after about six years of not connecting due to crazy busy lives. It was like no time had passed. We caught up instantly, picked up right where we left off, and it felt amazing to reconnect. Next thing you know, she’s offering me a job!
What is your favourite part about events?
The energy when people come together! I love watching attendees light up while networking, the thrill of on-your-feet problem solving, and all the logistics that go into bringing an event to life. It’s the ultimate mix of creativity, teamwork, and organized chaos, and I absolutely love it.
What is a memorable experience you’ve had in your career?
One that always stands out is chatting about farming with Chris Hadfield while he signed books at a conference I produced where he was the keynote speaker. His parents were farmers, and so were mine, so bonding over our farm-kid roots with an astronaut was definitely a “core memory” moment.
What do you think Spark Collective brings to the event prof community?
Spark Collective brings a huge wealth of knowledge and experience. With the combined strengths of all our planners, no matter the challenge—big or small—we’ve got you covered.
Tell us one fun fact about you!
I’m a Volunteer Firefighter!
