Boring doesn’t get a mic. Expect the status quo to be disrupted in the main stage.
This is where boundaries are broken, and the future of education is forged.
You won’t need your scrolling addiction here, guaranteed.
Hands-on workshops in the Machine Room, where AI and humans co-create.
Experiment with AI, challenge interfaces, question data, ethics, and control.
Don’t forget, it will always be about people.
You won’t hear buzzwords here. It’s just teams trying new ways to grow.
Run a workshop, join a simulation, share what didn’t work.
The goal? Learning that survives the calendar invite.
Are you in Human Relations, Learning & Development, tech, or innovation?
And you’re done with slow processes, endless meetings, and panels that go nowhere?
Then this is for you.
disrupt:ED is built for people who build.
Corporate trainers, EdTech founders, internal rebels, curious coaches…
And anyone ready to stop talking and start testing.
No rank, no gatekeeping.
Just people doing the work.
You will decide. 🙂
But, this festival was created by people who’ve been to those events… got bored, scrolling on their phones, waiting for it to end.
It was corporate money after all, right?
So we decided to organize one ourselves.
You won’t see roll-up banners and sales pitches.
You won’t walk out wondering what just happened.
This is a working zone, not a showroom.
You’ll test tools in beta, fix broken ideas, give real feedback, and meet people who actually care about making learning better.
Right.
Let’s be real.
Most events feel like a PowerPoint parade.
You sit. You scroll. You leave with nothing new.
We wouldn’t have created disrupt:ED, if it were the same.
You’ll test ideas that aren’t finished. Tools that aren’t perfect.
You’ll argue, rebuild, and rethink everything with people who aren’t afraid to try.
It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s fun.
And you’ll wonder why this isn’t how every event works.
Welcome attendees with ambient music and refreshments. Let's meet first!
