DisruptRVA 2023 Talks

What made you say yes to making DisruptRVA happen this year?

Ā 

I said yes because our world is being disrupted constantly -- it is the default state of things and DisruptRVA lets us own the disruption and be proactive about it rather than reactive. Our world needs new solutions and ideas that bring us together, create well-being, and be a transformative force for good!

Meet our Emcee:

Todd Waldo

Todd is the perfect emcee for DisruptRVA. He creates an atmosphere for everyone that’s uniquely Disrupt.Ā 

Speakers have aĀ big task: Deliver a powerful message inside a challenging format (5 minutes, 20 slides advancing automatically every 20 seconds)Ā and energize, inform and empowerĀ the audience.Ā Speakers mess up! Perfection is not the point.

Success is when an audience member takes something away and tries something new the very next day.Ā Ā 

Todd makes sure everyone understands this. He keeps the energy up -- the audience encouraging the speakers, the speakers inspired by the audience. A complete uplift for everyone!
