DisruptHER Commons

​DisruptHER Commons is a one-day gathering designed like a village square — a shared space where women leaders can step out of isolation and into community.

​Not a conference. Not a marketplace. The commons - where it all happens and where your community gathers.

​For one day, everything a woman leader often has to seek out separately — support, clarity, care, structure, visibility — exists together, held by people who understand the work because they’re doing it too.

​The Commons

​At the center is the Village Square — a place to gather, orient, and return to throughout the day. Around it, a “market” of trusted local providers offering support across five essential areas of leadership:

• ​Health — sustainability, regulation, and real-life care

• ​Style — presence, confidence, and comfort in how you show up

• ​Work — systems, boundaries, hiring, and how work actually functions

• ​Wallet — money clarity without shame or pressure

• ​Brand — voice, messaging, and being seen on your own terms

​The day is intentionally open-flow. Move freely. Sit when you need to. Engage deeply where it matters. Return to the square. Leave resourced.

​Why this exists

​Leadership doesn’t happen in isolation, and neither should support.

​DisruptHER Commons was created for women who are building businesses, teams, and lives, and who are looking for something more substantial than surface-level networking or transactional spaces. This is about shared access, mutual support, and keeping resources circulating within our community.

​What’s included

​Coffee, snacks, and lunch are provided.
Some providers will offer optional paid services or sessions during the day; those are booked and paid directly to the vendors, who keep 100% of that revenue.

​Community impact

​A portion of all ticket and vendor proceeds supports POPI (People On Purpose Inc.), helping make practical business support more accessible in our region.

​Closing the day

​We’ll gather one last time in the Village Square to close the Commons — including a raffle for two tickets to the DisrUpstate Leadership Summit and a live reveal of a Summit ticket credit for attendees who stay through the end.

​Tickets

• ​General Admission — $55 (includes access, light fare & lunch, and 5 facilitated workshops for Health, Style, Work, Wallet, and Brand)

• ​Supporter Ticket — $100 (includes a POPI contribution and personal/business recognition in the program)

​If you’ve been missing a place where women build alongside one another — this is that place.
