Spark Convention 2026
International Vintage Lighter Convention in Amsterdam
In 2026, Amsterdam will host the very first edition of the Spark International Vintage Lighter Convention — a brand-new event built on the legacy of the long-running Düsseldorf Lighter Convention. For years, collectors have gathered in Germany to share their passion for rare and historic lighters, and now Spark is bringing this experience to the Netherlands for the very first time.
What Is the Spark Lighter Convention?
The SPARK International Lighter Convention is designed to bring together enthusiasts and collectors from across Europe and beyond. Expect to see everything from early enamel strikers and unusual mechanical innovations to luxury pieces and precious metals, the rarest lighters in the world come together. The event offers a welcoming, informal setting where you can meet fellow collectors, exchange knowledge, and perhaps add a rare piece to your collection.
When and Where
The inaugural Spark Convention will take place in Amsterdam in the summer of 2026, most likely on a Saturday in June. The exact date and venue will be confirmed soon. Amsterdam was chosen for its central location — easily reached from England, France, Belgium, and Germany — and its excellent international connections via Schiphol Airport.
Reserve a Table
Are you a seller or collector interested in exhibiting your lighters? A limited number of tables will be available for vendors. Reservations will open soon, and tables are expected to sell out quickly. Keep an eye on this page or join our Facebook group for updates.

Specific venue details and accommodation recommendations will be shared once confirmed.
