Announcing the first ND27 speakers 🎤

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Reminder: Tickets for ND27 open Tuesday, September 15 at 10am Central time.
--

Hey there,

Here are a few of the people you'll be in the room with at next year's NeuroDiversion—our first announced main-stage speakers!

BUT FIRST—a quick note about speaking at ND. Most of the program comes from you, the people in the room. As soon as you're registered, you can submit a session proposal, and later this fall the community will vote on what makes the lineup.

Last year we hosted more than 60 workshops, talks, and activities, and for ND27 we're planning even more. We'd love to welcome as many people and ideas as possible. 🎉

Now, back to the first group of speakers... we're excited to announce:

Dr. Tracey Marks. A board-certified psychiatrist and one of the clearest mental-health educators anywhere. Her YouTube channel has taught millions of people how their own brains work. She's also the author of Why Am I So Anxious?

Amy Morin. Psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, built on the idea that strength has less to do with what you add and more to do with what you stop doing. Her TEDx talk on the same idea is one of the most-watched ever, with more than 20 million views.

Jia Jiang. You may know him from 100 Days of Rejection, or his TEDx talk. His new book, Easy Discipline, comes out of his own ADHD experience. He calls it a love letter to ambitious neurodivergent folks.

Steve Kamb. Founder of Nerd Fitness, where getting healthy works like an RPG, and author of the (new!) bestselling book How to Try Again.

There are more to come, plus all of those breakout sessions selected by our community.

Tickets open Tuesday at 10am Central time. The price is $497 a ticket until the Early Bird round sells out.

Put it in your calendar now, and everything will be waiting at neurodiversion.org.

If you were at ND25 or ND26, you know what this room feels like. If you haven't been yet, this is the year! Our team is going all out, and we can't wait to welcome you.

See you in Austin,
​

Hey there, First, an important note: if you're not thinking about coming to ND27, hang tight. This is the last ticket email you'll get until January, and then we're back to the usual. But if you've been thinking about it—today's the day. Register for ND27 Here's what that means, plainly: Until 11:59pm Central tonight: ND27 costs $497 per ticket, which is $200 off the regular price. After that, we close ticket sales entirely and reopen in early January without the discount. There's no way to...

Here's a small sample from round one. (Note: these are just the titles of a few sessions; once we move to the community voting round,...

Early-bird registration for ND27 closes on Friday, October 16 (or sooner if we sell out). Hey there, A month before our first event in 2025, a reader wrote to ask whether they should come. Here's what they said: “ I'm a bit older than what I imagine as your typical reader, and I'm also not sure I'm 'neurodivergent', although I've certainly been wondering lately, especially after reading about adult ADHD. Do you think this is something I should come to? That note made me realize I'd been...
