About Event

🔥 What Is DisruptHR?

DisruptHR is more than an event—it’s a global movement.

At DisruptHR Syracuse, you’ll hear short, powerful, high-energy talks from bold leaders, entrepreneurs, HR pros, and change-makers who are flipping the script on leadership, culture, inclusion, hiring, retention, and what it really means to build a workplace that works.

🧠 The Format: Fast. Fun. Unfiltered.

You’ll experience:

• 8 speakers delivering 5-minute talks (quick, punchy, and disruptive!)

• 20 auto-advancing slides per speaker — no rambling, no notes!

• A room full of leaders ready to challenge the status quo and make meaningful connections

👉🏻This isn’t a panel. It’s not a webinar.

🪩 It’s TEDx meets happy hour meets rebel HR.

🍻 And it’s a hell of a good time.

🌟 What You’ll Walk Away With:

✅ Fresh ways of thinking about leadership, business, and growth

✅ Real, tactical ideas you can bring back to your team

✅ Impactful networking with local professionals and business leaders who give a damn about doing work differently

✅ A spark of momentum — whether you’re in HR, leadership, entrepreneurship, or building something new

This event isn’t just for HR pros. It’s for managers, executives, entrepreneurs, small business owners, creatives, culture champions—anyone sick of “business as usual.”
