Hey there,
Earlier this year, 150 ND26 attendees bought tickets to NeuroDiversion 2027 before we had announced a single speaker.
I think about that a lot. They weren't just coming for the talks, they were coming for the experience.
We're now almost ready to open registration for next year's first public ticket sale. Early-bird tickets will be available on Tuesday, September 15 at 10am Central at this link:
How the weekend works
Thursday is for early arrivals. If you're in town then, there's a pre-party that evening and meetups happening most of the day.
Friday it officially begins. Everyone else arrives, registers, gets a sneak peek at our very own ND Expo, and we produce a special opening party so nobody has to walk into a room full of strangers by themselves.
Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days. Main-stage talks, breakouts, workshops, hands-on sessions, and quiet corners for when you've had enough people for a while. Saturday the Expo opens up to the whole city.
Sunday night we close it out with another special party. Most people travel home sometime on Monday, but others stick around for a few more meetups.
The part that's hard to put on a schedule
Many of us have spent our lives being the only one like us in the room. Translating, masking, explaining—sometimes even apologizing for the way our brains work.
For three days in Austin, you're not the only one. Nobody needs the backstory. You don't have to earn your place in the conversation. You can just be there.
That's what those 150 people signed up for in March, sight unseen.
The details
- March 25–28, 2027 in Austin. Thursday is for early arrivals and a pre-party; the full program runs Friday through Sunday.
- The price is $497 per ticket during the early bird sale. This includes a $100 discount, automatically applied.
- Payment plans may be available through Klarna, Affirm, or Afterpay (varies by region).
- Coming with a group? You'll automatically get $50 off every ticket when you buy 5 or more tickets in one transaction.
Eight keynotes, 60+ breakout sessions, an Expo that outgrew last year's room, and three days where nobody asks you to explain yourself first.
The first main-stage speaker announcements go out Thursday. One of them wrote a book he calls a love letter to ambitious ADHD folks. Another is one of the world's leading experts on autism and AuDHD.
And that's not all! If you want to speak at ND27, you can apply to lead your own session. (Stay tuned for details.)
How to be ready
- Again, tickets go live on Tuesday, September 15 at neurodiversion.org. Bookmark it now.
- Early-bird is the lowest price ND27 tickets will be. When the window closes, the price goes up.
- Once registration closes, we'll send info on lodging options (yes, we have hotel discounts!) and how to connect with other attendees
Last but not least: wondering if you have to be neurodivergent to attend? Not at all! NeuroDiversion welcomes all kinds of people, including friends, parents, partners, clinicians, and educators. You will feel at home. 🤗
See you Tuesday,
