Welcome to ADHD2025!

We are beyond excited to welcome you to ADHD2025 in Kansas City! This conference is about more than just attending sessions—it's an opportunity to truly connectlearn, & thrive. We want you to leave feeling energized, equipped with fresh insights, and ready to make a difference in your life and the lives of others.

CONNECT.
At ADHD2025, building connections is at the heart of what we do. Whether you’re here to discover new resources, share experiences, or simply connect with others who understand, you’ll find a supportive community ready to welcome you. One attendee shared it perfectly: "It’s the only conference where you can show up alone and leave with a family." This event brings together both the intellectual and the emotional aspects of ADHD—so you can find both the knowledge and the camaraderie you need to succeed.

LEARN.
This conference brings together the most respected voices in the ADHD space, from established experts to rising stars in advocacy. You’ll gain a wide-ranging perspective on ADHD, with insights you can immediately apply in your personal life, at work, or in your role as a caregiver or professional. A past attendee said, "I came thinking I knew a lot about ADHD—but this conference opened my eyes to so much more! Whether you’re new to ADHD or well-versed, it’s an invaluable experience."

Along with keynotes and presentations, expect engaging discussions, hands-on activities, and meaningful exchanges with other attendees. You’ll leave with practical tools, actionable strategies, and new resources to support you and those you care about. This is the place to fuel your growth.

THRIVE.
ADHD2025 isn’t just about gathering knowledge—it’s also about personal growth and well-being. We believe that a thriving community is one where people are supported, understood, and accepted. As one past attendee said, "There’s no other place where you can feel this level of love and acceptance. The community here truly gets you." ADHD2025 is a space where you can be yourself, surrounded by people who embrace and encourage your journey.

While our expert speakers are always a highlight, it’s the bonds formed, the personal stories shared, and the collective energy of the event that truly make this experience special.

Join us in Kansas City for ADHD2025, and be part of an unforgettable three-day event that will inspire, connect, and empower you.
