More About DisruptHR Manchester

Rebooted in 2024, DisruptHR Manchester is a community of innovative HR pros, TA pros, and leaders.

Are you tired of the same old approach to Human Resources? Are you ready to start talking about talent in a whole new way? DisruptHR is for you! This is unlike any other HR event in Manchester.

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, HR!) need to be ready to take some risks, to stir the pot…in short, to DISRUPT.

* There are lots of events happening in Manchester around the 6th of November. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't find a suitable ground floor venue without having to pass on fees through paid tickets so we made the decision to hire a space on the first floor to allow us to offer free entry to HR pros and business leaders. Unfortunately, this may restrict some attendees with accessibility requirements.

* Registering for this event does not guarantee entry. Capacity is limited and this event is specifically designed for HR, Talent pros, and leaders. If you do not fit the criteria your application to attend may be rejected. Guests of partners and speakers will receive priority.
