A one-day series of talks and workshops from world-leading experts. Seed Talks are proudly partnered with the NI Science Festival.
Discover practical, holistic strategies to manage ADHD symptoms at this summit, with a focus on productivity, emotional regulation, Rejection Sensory Dysphoria, and non-medical interventions.
Nearly three million people have been prescribed ADHD medication in the past two years, but for some, it can cause more challenges than it solves. Recent research shows the effectiveness of non-medical interventions in managing ADHD symptoms, emphasising the value of a more holistic approach.

Join a supportive and inclusive community, connect with like-minded individuals, and learn from world-leading experts. Walk away with strategies you can start using right away to improve your life with ADHD.
