The Annual Event
Quade Sphere
Welcome to Sphere — the annual unconference hosted by Quade.
Every year, Quade’s Spark Collaborative, Allies and Directors from across the country come together for an extraordinary experience unlike any traditional conference.
Sphere is where leaders step out of the day-to-day and into something rare: a space built on authenticity, mutual support, and real conversation. It’s not about watching from the audience — it’s about participating, engaging, and being seen.
This is a vibrant, immersive gathering where barriers dissolve, ideas flourish, and meaningful connections are made. You won’t find keynote speeches or staged panels here. Instead, you’ll join workshops, roundtable discussions, and spontaneous conversations that challenge, inspire, and expand your leadership perspective.
Join us July 16th, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana for Quade’s annual unconference — where the conversations are real, the connections are lasting, and the experience is unforgettable.
Where Leadership Gathers,
Grows, and Connects.
Sphere is your invitation to reconnect with your purpose, recharge your leadership, and reengage with the Quade community in person. Expect thought-provoking dialogue, creative energy, and a joyful environment that celebrates who you are and the impact you’re here to make.
For Quade Spark, Allies & Directors
As part of your Quade membership, you are invited to join us for Sphere — an immersive gathering designed exclusively for leaders like you. Engage fully in interactive workshops, dynamic roundtable discussions, and spontaneous moments of inspiration with your peers from across the nation. Come to be inspired, challenged, and reconnected to the leadership journey you’re on.

Interested in Joining the Experience?
Sphere is a private event for Quade Spark members, Allies, and Directors — but if you’re a CEO, executive, or senior leader looking for a deeper leadership community, we invite you to start a conversation.
We’re currently accepting new members into Quade — and into this year’s Sphere.
Now is the perfect time to explore whether joining a Circle is the right next step for your leadership journey.
At Quade, we believe leadership is better when it’s shared. That’s why we’ve created spaces like Sphere: to help ambitious, values-driven leaders connect in meaningful, transformative ways.
If you’re curious about Quade and want to explore what it looks like to be part of a Circle, we’d love to talk.
What Makes Sphere Different
Authenticity over performance.
This isn’t about being impressive — it’s about being real. Come as you are.
Mutual support over competition.
Leadership is challenging enough. Sphere is a space of encouragement, not comparison.
Open dialogue over speeches.
You won’t just sit back and listen — you’ll pull up a chair, join the conversation, and actively engage with fellow leaders.
Joy, connection, and real-world impact.
We believe laughter matters, friendship matters, and being heard matters. That’s why Sphere works.
What is an Unconference?
An unconference is where the audience becomes the conversation.
Instead of passive listening to keynote speakers or panels, an unconference is built around participation, interaction, and real conversations. Everyone is encouraged to engage — whether through dynamic workshops, roundtable discussions, or spontaneous conversations that spark new ideas.
At Sphere, there are no barriers between speakers and attendees because everyone’s experience and perspective are valued. It’s not about sitting back and listening — it’s about stepping forward and contributing.
