Time to get your diaries out. We have the hottest upcoming HR events that you should be attending in April. Pens at the ready (or just simply click on the event to add to your google calendar!)

1. DisruptHR Cork

DisruptHR Cork believes that the way employers have approached people and talent in the past, will not be how it is done in the future. This event aims to shake things up, challenge attendees to think differently and inspire them to make changes in their organisations.

9 presenters (Disruptors), 5 minutes each, with 20 slides that auto-rotate every 15 seconds.

THE DISRUPTORS ARE…

HR professionals, technologists, business or community leaders with something different to say about talent, culture or technology. DisruptHR Cork wants speakers to share their passion and curiosity and teach the audience something that has a social or professional impact.

An exciting line-up of speakers has been assembled. The topics will be deliberately thought provoking, given that the main objective is to challenge the established thinking and generate reflection and change.
