We are partnering with Aberdeen Inspired to bring you a conference which provides an opportunity for professionals from across the public and private sectors to come together to share and discuss the opportunities created by ‘thinking differently’ about neurodiversity.

Throughout the event we will explore how a diverse workforce brings value to organisations and customers; how we can develop our recruitment strategies to enable and optimise performance and share best practice.  The day will be concluded with recommendations and a call to action for our shared objectives.

An inspiring selection of presentations will take place with expert speakers including:

– Charlotte Valeur (she/her) Chair of Institute Of Neurodiversity ION – a short video detailing the importance of neurodiverse networks and advice for companies on how to create inclusive workplaces.
