Introduction
Building on the success of our inaugural conference, The Irreplaceable Spark returns on October 17-18, 2026 — bigger, bolder, and brighter. We’re bringing together even more Objectivist doers —entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders who are shaping the world through the power of their independent vision.
Join us in Austin, Texas, for a weekend of ideas, inspiration, and action. Engage with new speakers, engage in deeper discussions, and expand your network of driven, like-minded individuals as we continue to explore how rational values, productive achievement, and individual purpose drive real success.

"Attending The Irreplaceable Spark conference was a truly enlightening experience. Each speaker reignited my own spark of inspiration by sharing how they apply Objectivism in their lives and businesses. Engaging with them afterward reminded me of the power of ideas put into action—and it’s motivated me to keep learning, growing, and integrating Objectivist principles into my daily life. I can't wait for the next Spark conference!"
