Disrupt HR

So What is DisruptHR?

DisruptHR is built on the belief that how we’ve approached people and talent in the past won’t be the best way to approach them in the future. DisruptHR is founded on the idea that ALL business leaders (and that includes you) need to be ready to take some risks, to stir the pot…in short, to DISRUPT. Now covering the globe in over 200 locations!

What’s the deal, anyway?

Ahria has held the London and area event license for DisruptHR since 2017. 

Each Disrupt event provides for an engaging evening of spirited, focused presentations by local (and sometimes not-so-local) professionals who will share their disruptive ideas on how to move our collective thinking forward when it comes to leadership and talent.

We’re taking the brilliance of TED Talks, adding a pinch of energy from Ignite events, finishing it with a dash of “talent” and giving each speaker 5 minutes to blow your mind on topics relevant to the human experience in the workplace! No, you don’t have to be in HR to attend. In fact, Disrupt talks have been given and attended by C-Suite Leaders, Technologists, Restaurateurs, Students, Politicians…and, yes, even a few HR Professionals.

14 speakers, 5 minutes each, and slides rotate every 15 seconds. Teach us something, but make it quick.

 

Should I attend?

DisruptHR is a high-energy idea forum designed to inform and empower executives, business leaders, people in the human resources field and anyone, really, who is passionate about people.
It’s hosted in a funky venue with a relaxed atmosphere and full of like-minded people. If you missed this year’s event, stay tuned for the next one.

DisruptHR 2017

The inaugural London and area DisruptHR took off from the London Aircraft Museum on September 13, 2017 and it landed with an enthusiastic response. 14 fabulous speakers engaged a crowd of over 150 attendees and the resounding feedback was that we must do this again. Carswell Partners and Sheffar Potter Muchan were the proud co-hosts of the inaugural event.

“DisruptHR 2017 was a fantastic event! The format was punchy, fast paced, and impactful. The broad range of engaging speakers spanned corporate, philanthropic, and public sector content and views. Great learnings from all of the speakers and plenty of opportunities to network and discuss your experience of the sessions with the large and engaged audience. Looking forward to next year’s event! Great content, people and location!”
