DisrUpstate Leadership Summit

​The Disruptive Leadership Retreat You Didn’t Know You Needed

​The DisrUpstate Leadership Summit is a bold, three-day leadership retreat in the Adirondacks—built for real leaders, small-business owners, founders, creatives, and community builders who want connection without corporate fluff.

​This isn’t a conference where you sit quietly and collect business cards.
It’s a fully immersive weekend designed to spark better conversations, deeper relationships, and fresh perspective—while actually enjoying where you are.

​Over three days, we bring the best of DisrUpstate together into one intentionally curated experience:

​⚡️ DisruptHR North Country 2.0
Fast, fiery talks from leaders challenging how we work, lead, and build culture.

​✨ Future of Small Business Panel
Voices from CNY, the North Country, and the Adirondacks shaping what’s next.

​🍴 Not Your Average Company Picnic
Food, lawn games, live music, and organic, low-pressure networking.

​🌲 Adirondack Adventures
Choose your pace: leadership breakouts or outdoor + creative experiences like lake cruises, mini-hikes, workshops, and the Fulton Chain Passport.

​Throughout the weekend, you’ll also experience:

• ​🌊 Sunrise yoga on the lake

• ​🔥 Bonfire social

• ​🎶 Live music & DJ sets

• ​🍽️ Saturday Adirondack lunch

• ​☕ Sunday breakfast + soft send-off

• ​💬 Topic tables & real-talk conversations

• ​🌟 Sponsor activations

• ​🏆 Awards & raffles

• ​🤝 Open, unforced networking all weekend

​There’s no hierarchy here. No pressure to perform.
Just people who care about building better workplaces, stronger communities, and sustainable small businesses—coming together in a setting that makes space for real connection.

​📍 June 12–14, 2026 | Old Forge, NY

​Limited capacity. Adirondack energy. Unforgettable weekend.
