What Went Down at DisruptHR CPT #3
The third installment of a global movement labelled “the rebellious future of HR” in Cape Town.
Cape Town: 1st March 2018 saw the third installment of a global movement labelled “the rebellious future of HR”, an event which is appropriately described as an information exchange designed to inform, empower and energise those involved in the world of business and people management.
The evening was hosted once again at Longkloof studios, the HQ of Travelstart with the support of main sponsors Hi5 Technologies, Travelstart & Enigmeir as well as disturber sponsors RGBC, Offerzen and Realm Digital.
The house was packed to the rafters with over 100 attendees, including 11 mind-blowing speakers, 8 amazing volunteers and 1 incredible MC 😉 The atmosphere was noticeably electric, consistently holding an incredible buzz all evening.
The show consisted of two halves, with enough time in between for networking, beverages and snacks (by Party Platters), as well as voting for your favourite speakers using the Hi5 App. Some folks who couldn’t make it were able to watch snippets of the talks via Hi5’s Instagram Live broadcasts.
SPEAKERS
The speakers included a full C-suite, and not only HR folks were in attendance either — DisruptHR is all about lifting existing limitations, allowing People teams across the continent to create new rules.
The speakers had gone through a rigorous selection process, outlined by DisruptHR’s no. 1 rule:
“20 slides, 15 seconds per slide.”
This 5-minute window per speaker gave them their chance to make a bold statement AKA their “drop the mic moment” 🎤 (without actually dropping the mic of course!). If you have something to say about Talent, Culture or Technology, then this is 100% the event for you!
