"The Wall of Awful": New ND Conversations and Keynotes 🎤 🎥

Published 23 days ago • 1 min read

Hey there,

We've welcomed a lot of new signups for ND27 over the past few weeks, and we recently sent hotel discount codes to everyone who's registered.

This year we have four partner hotels, each offering discounts of around 20% on a first-come, first-served basis. If you sign up now, you'll be able to grab one before they're spoken for.

Next, some new things to read and watch.

Two New Keynotes on YouTube 🎥

Tiffany Yu

Being the Representation I Couldn't Find

​Tiffany shares how the absence of disability representation shaped the work and community she chose to build.

Dr. Carolyn Parcells​

ADHD Treatment: Barriers, Speed Bumps, and Unexpected Detours

​Getting diagnosed is only the first step. Getting treated can be its own long road.

If a talk lands for you, take ten seconds to like it, leave a comment, and share it. That's how these videos reach the people who need them!

We'll continue to share more on the site each week, along with new tools and resources for you. If something resonates, please share it! 🙏

Yours in the revolution,

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.

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.
