What is DisruptYVR?

DISRUPT is an information exchange designed to energize, inform and empower people.

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

If you're an professional (HR, change, projects), a CEO, a technologist, a community leader - and you've got something to say about talent, culture or technology - Disrupt is the place.
