Brown Bag Lunch

Friday, Dec 4 | 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM 

Grab your lunch and join us for a low-key, informal event where you can share your personal or professional ADHD journey with a supportive community of people who ‘get it.’ Dealing with big emotions, setting appropriate boundaries, handling RSD, managing money, working with resistant clients…tap into the collective wisdom of the community and share your own wins and strategies with others.

Morning Mindfulness

Friday, Dec 4 & Saturday, Dec 5 | 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM

Mindfulness exercises designed for the ADHD brain. In the morning we will begin with brief mindfulness practices that can help you feel less scattered, more grounded, and ready for the conference day. 

Meet Your People Networking Event

Friday, Dec 4 | 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM 

Traditional networking gets an ADHD-friendly makeover! Come mingle with ADHD adults, parents, coaches, educators, healthcare professionals, and other fabulous humans. Talk, connect, exchange ideas, and maybe even remember someone’s name. Come meet your people—it’s networking, but we’re calling it NetFUNing for a reason. 

Talent Show

Friday, Dec 4 | 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Nothing helps us connect, learn, & thrive like sharing our gifts and talents with each other—and there is no better place to do that than the ADHD2026 Talent Show. 

The Talent Show is our long-running Friday night tradition, a perfect time to relax a little and refresh yourself before Saturday’s sessions. It’s a great place to meet folks and make even more connections, maybe over a favorite song, poem, or performance. 

The Talent Show is a showcase for the unusual, entertaining, and amazing talents of attendees and speakers in a fun, therapeutic, bare-your-soul way. Some of your favorites will be returning, and some never-before-seen talents will take the stage. 

 

Want to showcase your talent?

ADHD Survey Says

Saturday, Dec 5 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM 

Survey says… it’s time for some NetFUNing! Join us for an ADHD-themed, Family Feud–style game filled with surprising answers, friendly competition, plenty of laughs, and maybe a little chaos. Test your ADHD knowledge, meet some new people, and find out what happens when a whole bunch of ADHD brains are asked, “Survey says…?”

ADHD Re/Frame |  A NetFUNing Card Game

Saturday, Dec 5 | 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM 


Trade small talk for big fun. In this fast, hilarious team card game, you'll draw a prompt, pick your best/most accurate/funniest/most outrageous response, and discover how ADHD traits show up as real strengths across the room. There's no score and no pressure to share anything personal: just laughter, recognition, and a room full of people defining what being an ADHDer means for them, together. Come ready to connect, not perform.
