TalentWise Collective at DisruptHR KW 7.0: Sparking Bold Conversations About the Future of Work

On October 23, TalentWise Collective was proud to sponsor DisruptHR KW 7.0—a high-energy event that brought together HR and business leaders from across the Kitchener-Waterloo region to share ideas that challenge convention and inspire change.

Why it mattered:

DisruptHR isn’t your typical conference. It’s a series of fast-paced, thought-provoking talks designed to shake up how we think about leadership, culture, and the workplace. The event’s energy perfectly aligned with TalentWise Collective’s mission—helping organizations build thoughtful, equitable, and high-performing people practices. For us, supporting DisruptHR was about celebrating practical innovation and turning great ideas into meaningful action.

What inspired us:

We left the event energized by the open conversations, honest storytelling, and new perspectives on how to hire, grow, and support people. From redefining leadership to rethinking inclusion, the insights shared reminded us why curiosity, courage, and connection are essential to shaping the future of work.

A note of thanks:

To everyone we met at DisruptHR KW 7.0—thank you for the conversations, laughter, and shared passion for people-first workplaces. We’re excited to carry forward the momentum, ideas, and connections sparked that night.

Here’s to building workplaces where innovation and humanity thrive—together.
