We're looking for bold, thoughtful, and inspiring talks that reflect the theme: Making work part of a life well-lived.

These talks use the Ignite format: 5 minutes, 20 slides, advancing automatically every 15 seconds. To help you succeed, a speaker coach who has experience with this format is matched 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 May 1, 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!
