Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Turning Good Intentions into Real Impact

Thursday 25th June 11:00 – 15:00
Autotrader, No. 3, Circle Square, 3 Hawkshaw Street, Manchester M1 7BL 

Join us for ‘Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Turning Good Intentions into Real Impact’ for an engaging and solutions-focused day as we explore how organisations can move beyond neurodiversity awareness and into meaningful, practical behaviour change. 

This cross-industry event brings together inclusion leaders, practitioners and colleagues committed to creating workplaces where neurodivergent talent can thrive. Through keynote insights, lived-experience, and a hands-on interactive workshop, we’ll focus on what neurodiversity looks like in action, in meetings, in communication, in leadership and in the way we work together every day. 

What to Expect 

Lived Experience Panel Discussion
A dynamic cross-sector panel exploring real-world challenges, successes and lessons learned when creating neuro-inclusive environments. Hear directly from neurodivergent colleagues as they share personal insights. Expect honest conversation, practical examples and opportunities for audience Q&A. 

Interactive Workshop: Neurodiversity Practice in Action – Ways of Working
This practical session is designed to turn understanding into behaviour change. 

Participants will: 

• Redesign meetings to be clearer, more structured and inclusive 

• Rethink feedback loops to support different communication styles 

• Review workflows to increase predictability and reduce cognitive overload 

• Identify quick wins that can be implemented immediately 

Why Attend? 

Neurodiversity inclusion is not just about awareness sessions or policy updates. It’s about making everyday working practices clearer, fairer and more accessible for everyone. This event is designed to equip you with tangible tools, peer insight and actionable commitments.  

We look forward to welcoming you to a day of learning, collaboration and progress.
