Join the collaborative conference that brings together a community that is committed to improving employment outcomes for the neurodiverse workforce. For our 2025 Neurodiversity in the Workplace National Conference, we invite submissions that focus on workforce training and development, with an emphasis on enhancing recruitment, management, and retention strategies for the neurodiverse workforce. Additionally, we are seeking presentations on employment outcome research, best practices from adult service providers, service implementation, successful transition strategies to adulthood, lived experiences, collaboration, and other relevant research.
We invite proposals for presentations that inspire meaningful conversations, drive change and foster collaboration. We encourage educators, policymakers, subject matter experts and community providers, as well as neurodiverse individuals and their families, to share their insights and diverse perspectives. Submissions are welcome from all, and prior presentation experience is not necessary. Multiple proposals may be submitted.
