SPEAKING TOPICS

What Andy speaks about.

Each session is tailored to your audience. Topics can be delivered as keynotes, breakout sessions, panels, or internal L&D workshops.

The Business Case for Neuroinclusion

Why neuroinclusion isn't a DEI checkbox, it's a competitive advantage. Covers the commercial, legal, and cultural drivers, with practical takeaways for senior leaders and HR teams.

Building Neuroinclusive Workplaces

What actually changes when an organisation commits to neuroinclusion. From hiring and onboarding through to day-to-day management, what good looks like and how to get there.

Neuroinclusive Events & Venues

How the events and hospitality sector can unlock the purple pound by designing for neurodivergent attendees. Practical, sector-specific, and aligned with the Neurodiversity in Events Checklist.

Neurodiversity & the Law

What the Equality Act 2010, the incoming LDAN Bill, and the European Accessibility Act mean for employers and event organisers, and what organisations should be doing now.

Neurodiversity & AI

As AI tools reshape how we work, neurodivergent employees are often early adopters and early casualties of poorly designed implementation. This session explores how to harness AI as an accessibility tool while avoiding the pitfalls of automating bias.

The Purple Pound: Neurodiversity & Consumer Behaviour

The £274bn spending power of neurodivergent people and their networks is largely untapped. A compelling case for businesses and venues who want to reach this audience.
