Disrupt Halifax

02/25/2026

Speaker Spotlight: Chris Gallant⚡️

Chris opened his talk with humor - sharing that when he was young, he used to dream of being a cow when he grew up. The laughter set the tone, but his message landed deeper.

Chris went on to share powerful insights about the reality that 40% of our youth don’t have a clear career path, and what we, as a community of professionals, can do to change that. His story reminded the room that early support and opportunity can make all the difference.

Being on the DisruptHR stage isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about having a point of view - and the courage to share it.

Speaker applications open Monday, March 2 🎤
