DisruptHR-KW 8.0: The End of HR: As we know it!
About this Event
DisruptHR-KW 8.0
The conversation HR can't afford to ignore is happening this October.
Join over 250 HR, People & Culture, Talent, and business leaders for an evening that challenges conventional thinking and explores what's next for the world of work.
This year's theme:
The End of HR: As We Know It
AI is changing how we hire, develop, and support people. Expectations around leadership, culture, and employee experience continue to evolve. The role of HR is transforming faster than ever.
So where do we go from here?
DisruptHR-KW 8.0 will bring together bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and practical conversations about what the future of HR really looks like. You'll leave inspired, challenged, and equipped with ideas you can take back to your organization.
Speakers. Panel. Keynote.
The evening features the signature DisruptHR format, where speakers have just 5 minutes and 20 automatically advancing slides to share one idea that could change the way you think.
You'll also hear from an expert panel discussing the biggest opportunities and challenges shaping our profession, followed by a special keynote from Bob Egan, one of Canada's leading workplace futurists (and Blue Rodeo band-member), who will explore what's next for HR, leadership, and the future of work.
Network over great food.
The conversations don't end when the presentations do.
Connect with HR and business professionals from across Waterloo Region while enjoying complimentary food from Little Mushroom Catering (thanks to our sponsor Cowan) and drinks (thanks to our sponsor TWINN) throughout the evening.
