West Hub (University of Cambridge)

This event is open to neurodivergent individuals (whether diagnosed or undiagnosed), their family members, and advocates or researchers working on neurodiversity. We aim to create a safe, inclusive space where people with diverse neurotypes can share their experiences, learn from one another, and build a stronger sense of community. Whether you are neurodivergent yourself or are committed to supporting and understanding neurodiversity, you are welcome to join us for this impactful event.

What to Expect - Engaging Panels and Discussions

Through panel discussions featuring speakers from diverse academic and industry backgrounds and a series of mediated group discussions, we aim to facilitate the sharing of lived experiences and foster a sense of community. Join us for a day filled with insightful conversations, personal storytelling, and strategic discussions on fostering inclusivity.

Prioritisation of Accessibility and Inclusivity

We have carefully chosen the Cambridge West Hub as our event venue due to its exceptional accessibility features and inclusive environment. The venue is well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of our community members, ensuring that every participant feels welcomed, valued, and comfortable throughout the day. To further enhance accessibility, we will be providing:

A quiet room throughout the event for individuals who need a space to rest and recharge. Fidget toys and sensory items to help attendees regulate their sensory needs and stay focused. Color-coded bracelets that allow participants to communicate their social interaction preferences without having to verbally explain themselves.
