Once in a while an event series is born that shakes things up, it makes you think differently, it leaves you inspired. That event is Disrupt. If you’re an HR professional, a CEO, a technologist, a community leader – and you’ve got something to say or to learn about talent, culture or technology – Disrupt is the place. And it’s coming to Gainesville Florida April 18 for a fun,  informative, grown up after-hours event.

Disrupt is an information exchange designed to energize, inform and empower people in the HR, leadership and business operations fields. Leaders will gather to witness disruption in motion. You will network, let down your hair (if you have any left after dealing with employee drama) and hear from the boldest and most imaginative minds in a rapid-fire, ignite-style evening of six stimulating 5-minute keynote speeches that are sure to challenge the tired and outdated practices business owners, leaders and professionals face on a daily basis. And yes you just might need a beer or wine for this! We've got you covered as this event is being held at a brewery.

You just might laugh until you cry - just try not to spill your drink. Finally, you will leave relieved that you are not the only person who had to deal with "that employee situation" while also snagging a few new business contacts.

Plus - the national podcast co-hosts "HR Talk" will be onsite ready to hear from you! Do you love / hate HR? Does HR love / hate you? HR Talk! is a show dedicated to covering everyday HR topics in a fun and vibrant learning environment. Ricky and JC go past the legal jargon dive into everyday HR issues with a hell of a twist!

Your first beer or wine is included with the ticket price as well as a bite to eat. There will be a food truck on site for additional purchases. Speakers begin promptly at 6 pm - be sure to arrive between 5:00 and 5:30 pm. Check in at the warehouse. Prepare for fun!
