The Disruptive Leadership Retreat You Didn’t Know You Needed
The DisrUpstate Leadership Summit is a bold, three-day leadership retreat in the Adirondacks—built for real leaders, small-business owners, founders, creatives, and community builders who want connection without corporate fluff.
This isn’t a conference where you sit quietly and collect business cards.
It’s a fully immersive weekend designed to spark better conversations, deeper relationships, and fresh perspective—while actually enjoying where you are.
Over three days, we bring the best of DisrUpstate together into one intentionally curated experience:
⚡️ DisruptHR North Country 2.0
Fast, fiery talks from leaders challenging how we work, lead, and build culture.
✨ Future of Small Business Panel
Voices from CNY, the North Country, and the Adirondacks shaping what’s next.
🍴 Not Your Average Company Picnic
Food, lawn games, live music, and organic, low-pressure networking.
🌲 Adirondack Adventures
Choose your pace: leadership breakouts or outdoor + creative experiences like lake cruises, mini-hikes, workshops, and the Fulton Chain Passport.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll also experience:
🌊 Sunrise yoga on the lake
🔥 Bonfire social
🎶 Live music & DJ sets
🍽️ Saturday Adirondack lunch
☕ Sunday breakfast + soft send-off
💬 Topic tables & real-talk conversations
🌟 Sponsor activations
🏆 Awards & raffles
🤝 Open, unforced networking all weekend
There’s no hierarchy here. No pressure to perform.
Just people who care about building better workplaces, stronger communities, and sustainable small businesses—coming together in a setting that makes space for real connection.
