Speaker application portal now open!

Interested in speaking at our DisruptRVA fall 2025 event?

When: September 23, 5-8:30pm

Where: Virginia Commonwealth University

The event's theme is: Making work part of a life well-lived.

We're looking for bold, thoughtful, and inspiring talks that reflect the mission. 

These talks use the Ignite format: 5 minutes, 20 slides, advancing automatically every 15 seconds. To help speakers succeed, a speaker coach who has experience with this format is assigned to you!

One important caveat: These talks are meant to inspire, so pitching products, services, or companies is not allowed.

Please submit your application by June 30, 2025.

A member of our DisruptRVA team will follow up with you once you send your application.

DisruptRVA comes together to explore new dimensions, see more sides, and expect more of work -- this potential source of joy.

Let's make work part of a life well-lived: Let's disrupt!
