2026 Agenda

Two days of focused sessions, built to go deep without overwhelming you:

A keynote to open things up. Thirty minutes of big ideas, plus fifteen for your questions.

Four lightning talks. Eight minutes each, one sharp idea at a time, no filler.

A live panel taking on the question you've probably asked yourself: Is neurodivergence a superpower, a struggle, or both at once? Four voices speaking from lived experience. Maybe you'll see yourself in one.

An interactive workshop. A hands-on session where you practice something, not just hear about it.

Plus giveaways that introduce you to the tools and services nobody told you about, and the rare thing, curated connection time with people who actually think the way you do.

There's more to you than how your brain works. Learn what no one told you about how identity, biology, and culture shape your life experiences, so that you can stop blaming yourself and find what fits.

The missing piece is more than a diagnosis. It is everything around it.

Understand why your brain and body feel different across life stages, from hormonal shifts to sensory changes.

Identity

Explore how your neurodivergent experience interacts with race, gender, sexuality, and other identities as part of the bigger picture.

Biology

See how the country and culture you grew up in shaped what your neurodivergence looks like and what support you were (or weren't) given.

Culture

The full 2026 agenda is still coming together. Here's what's locked in.

“I loved the talk on whether or not to disclose to employers. I thought I was fairly knowledgeable in this area, but I learned so much!”
