We consult and train people behind closed doors.
But we also host bold, practical, and inspiring events, and some of them are open to you.
From AI masterclasses to leadership labs, DisruptHR spectacles, and Excellevate sessions, this is where our ecosystem meets the world.
Optimize yourself: strategies for personal productivity
If you are looking for yet another seminar with motivational quotes, endless theory, and the familiar “urgent and important” diagram… this is not the place for you.
Maria Stoeva and Stoyan Yankov play in a different league. They bring years of practice, concrete approaches, and real stories where productivity is not a slogan but a very simple question: how to get your time back.
And yes, they are not fans of hollow talks and memorized theories that we have all heard before.
This program brings together the best that Maria and Stoyan have learned on the subject. Here you will refresh and build on your approach to efficiency, achieving results, and creating more space for the things that really matter.
What we will explore together:
📌 Clarity in priorities. What really matters and what can be safely discarded
📌 Approaches for concrete, measurable results
📌 Techniques for managing focus and energy in a dynamic environment
📌 Methods for setting goals that happen, rather than staying in your notebook
📌 Productivity habits and how to maintain them in the long term
📌 Practical examples, tools, and technologies that save time
📌 Stories, mistakes, and best practices. Hard-earned, tried, tested, and proven
Our goal is for each participant to leave with their own working system for productivity, efficiency, and a more fulfilling life.
DisruptHR Sofia vol.5
“Hidden Treasures”
It is always quieter and darker underground. And the senses are heightened precisely where there is no unnecessary noise and light. That is where the most valuable things are hidden.
That is where DisruptHR Sofia vol. 5 “Hidden Treasures” – the most mysterious business event in Bulgaria – will take you.
DisruptHR is a global movement that originated in the US and is held in over 150 cities around the world. The format is unique: each speaker has exactly 5 minutes and 20 slides, which change automatically every 15 seconds. The result is fast, energetic, and authentic—a mixture of knowledge, emotion, and inspiration that cannot be found at any traditional conference.
After the editions “HR is dead! Long live HR”, “This is art…,” “What a Circus!” and “Rockstars,” DisruptHR Sofia is back with its fifth edition – “Hidden Treasures”.
And it invites everyone who believes that true value often remains hidden – in people, ideas, processes, and skills that don’t always shine on the surface.
Expect an evening full of surprises, unconventional perspectives, provocations, and… a few carefully selected mysteries. Be part of an audience that thinks differently.

DisruptHR Sofia
DISRUPT HR SOFIA: The First Four Acts
The story so far. Loud. Bold. Sold out. Always.
DisruptHR Sofia didn’t gently “arrive” on the local scene. It crashed the doors, grabbed the mic, and asked the room one simple question:
“Ready to rethink HR, or should we bring the defibrillator?”
Since then, four editions later, the movement has turned into a full-scale phenomenon. Packed halls. Wild topics. Speakers who dare. And communities that actually show up. Every. Single. Time.
Here’s the quick tour through the chaos we proudly call progress:
Vol. 1: “HR is Dead! Long Live HR!”
The pilot that didn’t feel like a pilot.
14 speakers. 8 sponsors. 6 media partners. Sold out tickets and a packed hall.
Tickets vanished faster than PTO after a payroll delay. It was messy, loud, and absolutely unforgettable. HR officially woke up. Our goal was to provoke people to start thinking and talking about working with people in a new way.
Vol. 2:“Now This is Art…”
By the second edition, the room already knew the drill. In this edition, we wanted to show people that art comes in different forms and topics, and it was a ballet show, but with white sneakers.
Five-minute talks. 20 slides that flip every 15 seconds. No ads. No fluff.
Just pure adrenaline from the stage. 600 people in the hall.
This one proved something important. HR isn’t just business. It’s art… with better snacks and maybe some banitsa.
Vol. 3: “What a Circus!”
Here’s the twist. Calling it a circus wasn’t a metaphor. We didn’t want people to take themselves too seriously. The energy, the topics, the crowd. The chaos that somehow makes perfect sense. Networking partners jumped in, sponsors levelled up, and the audience… well, the audience acted like they bought tickets for Beyoncé.
350 attendees. 3/3 sold out Toplocentrala. This wasn’t another disrupt experience. People weren’t only watching, but living it.
Vol. 4: “Rockstars”
The fourth edition totally got us out of our comfort zone. It threw the event into orbit.
The rock business show that inspired people to be rockstars as leaders, mentors, HR’s and people. 11 speakers. 7 sponsors. 3 networking partners. 3 media partners.
350 attendees again, packed shoulder to shoulder.
It was loud. Electric. Larger than life. A true headline show. We even finished it by bringing a motorcycle into the hall.
Four Editions Later…
DisruptHR Sofia has gathered over 50 speakers, thousands of engaged professionals, and a community that grows faster than the slide timer on the big screen.
We talk about work, people, tech, and culture in a way that actually sounds human.
We break clichés instead of repeating them.
We challenge the status quo instead of decorating it. We’re teaching people something and doing it faster than ever before.
And we’re just getting started… ⚡️
