Common questions
Is membership really free?
Yes. SPA is a volunteer-run nonprofit, funded by donations and event sponsorships. Membership itself has no cost.
Do I need to be a full-time people analytics practitioner?
No. Anyone working in, studying, or leading people analytics-adjacent work is welcome — consultants, students and more.
When will the community access be available?
Our community platform is currently marked as "Coming Soon" while we finalize the setup. We are excited to open the doors soon to let you connect, ask questions, and network with 9,000+ members. Stay tuned for the official launch announcement!
What's the community platform like?
We use Circle for the member community — threaded discussions, direct messaging, events, and Q&A. Active but not overwhelming.
How can I contribute?
Members can write for the blog, speak at events, host local meetups, become a mentor or join working groups on research and standards. You can also support us financially by donating here. Reach out via the Contact page.
Can my company become a sponsor?
Yes, we welcome new sponsors! To ensure the highest trust within our community, SPA is vendor-neutral by design, meaning sponsorships don’t influence our editorial content. Reach out to us—we’d love to share the details with you.
