2025 DisruptHR:
The Rebellious Future of HR
Wednesday, October 29 | 4 - 7 p.m.
This Halloween week, DisruptHR returns with frighteningly fresh ideas, no costumes required. This year, we’re stepping out of the conference room and leaving the suits at home.
Join us at Willow on Grand on Wednesday, October 29 for a scary-good night of fearless ideas and fast-paced presentations that just might haunt you (in the best way). Just because something isn’t broken doesn’t mean it can’t be better.
