The Velric Hiring & Leadership Summit is a recurring, curated gathering of founders, operators, investors, C-suite executives, and senior leaders shaping how modern teams are built.
Our most recent edition drew over 750+ registrations, with attendance intentionally capped to maintain a high-signal room of decision-makers. The response validated what we are building: a trusted space in New York City for serious conversations around hiring, leadership, and scaling teams.
Each month we bring together leaders across technology, venture, talent, media, and enterprise to discuss how teams are evaluated and built in a world where execution matters more than credentials.
Previous speakers and participants include leaders from:
McKinsey & Company, Nasdaq, World Economic Forum, Rose & Co. Capital, Morpheus Group, The Shortlist NY, Diligent, Mindot, Fizz, Vamo Talent, Zogo, Stanford ASES
including multiple Forbes 30 Under 30 founders and operators.
The room consistently attracts venture-backed founders, startup and enterprise operators, investors, and hiring leaders across competitive markets.
Velric, the company behind the summit, has been featured in Business Insider, Yahoo News, CNBC, and The Economic Times for redefining how companies evaluate talent through proof-of-work instead of resumes.
Capacity is intentionally limited each month to maintain a focused, high-quality room.
