 Disrupt is an information exchange event designed to energize, inform and empower people in the HR, leadership and business operations fields. Once in a while an event series is born that shakes things up, it makes you think differently. If you’re an entrepreneur, small business owner, HR professional, a CEO or a community leader – come hear what our speakers have to say about people and culture at work.


You will network, let down your hair and hear from the boldest and most imaginative minds in a rapid-fire, ignite-style evening of 12 stimulating 5-minute keynote speeches that are sure to challenge the tired and outdated business practices that business owners, leaders and professionals face on a daily basis.  Finally, you will leave relieved learning how to deal with "that employee situation" while also snagging a few new business contacts.


Adults Only. Adult Language!

Pizza will be provided. First beer is on us! 

Food truck will also be on-site.
