The first annual neurodiversity and entrepreneurship conference took place in April 2024 at Nottingham University Business School and virtually.

The conference hosted an exciting line-up of guest speakers from the worlds of academia, entrepreneurship, coaching and neurodivergent advocacy. Whilst acknowledging the challenges involved in being a neurodivergent entrepreneur (or those considering self-employment), the event celebrated the great things going on in the field, bringing together a varied audience with an interest in the exciting things that can happen when neurodiversity and entrepreneurship come together. 

The objectives for the day were to disseminate some of the latest academic research in the area, to share best practice in nurturing neurodivergent entrepreneurship through coaching and mentoring, and to gain an understanding of where entrepreneurship and self-employment fit in the wider neurodivergency landscape. 

We are grateful to our speakers for joining us, and to Nottingham University Business School for their support.
