Embracing Neurodiversity in Everyday Culture

Mar 9, 2025

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

One in five people in the U.S. are neurodivergent, yet many aspects of our culture haven't fully evolved to support those who think and learn differently. This session explores how leaders from various sectors leverage technology—including AI and soundscapes—to create more accessible and inclusive experiences. Learn how embracing neurodiversity can drive creativity, productivity, and positive change in work and everyday environments, benefiting individuals and communities alike.
