SPARKcon is about showcasing our local talent and coming up with ideas to foster it. Over the past 6 years, ideaSPARK results have impacted and influenced the development of the area in abstract and concrete ways, including the design of the Raleigh City Plaza site and the inclusion of local designers in recent city proposal requests.
