On Thursday 401(k) industry insiders will gather outside Washington, D.C. for the 2017 Spark National Conference.

The marketing trade group is accepting submissions from small, medium, large, and large-plus asset managers in 36 award categories encompassing communication with financial advisors, retail investors, and retirement plan participants and plan sponsors. There's also a special "community investment award" recognizing a fund firm that makes "outstanding community service contributions."
