Bold Ideas. Unfiltered Voices. Real Talk on the Future of Work.
part ted talk— part podcast— all rebellion.
DisruptHR Syracuse is where the buttoned-up world of HR and leadership gets a serious shake-up. We’re bringing together HR pros, business leaders, entrepreneurs, misfits, and movement-makers for a high-energy night of rapid-fire talks, unapologetic ideas, and the kind of networking that doesn’t make you want to fake a phone call.
With hyped-up speakers, engaged attendees, and non-stop disruption, it’s filled with mic-drop moments for how we think about people, performance, and purpose at work.
🎤 The Format
20 Slides. 5 Minutes. That’s it.
Each speaker gets 5 minutes to deliver their sharpest, boldest take on work, leadership, culture, equity, or whatever they really want to say but usually can’t in a boardroom.
Fast, Punchy, Unfiltered.
Expect energy, passion, and possibly a little chaos. No boring panels. No corporate buzzwords. Just real talk from real people making real change.
who’s gonna be there?
Business owners and leaders who want to build people-first workplaces
HR professionals who are tired of compliance being the whole conversation
Startup founders, DEI advocates, consultants, and rebel thinkers
Anyone ready to disrupt the way work has been done
You don’t need to work in HR to love DisruptHR. You just need to care about building better businesses and bolder leadership.
