Wired to Innovate: How leading tech companies are making neurodiversity their greatest product advantage
A VIP breakfast for HR and people leaders in the tech sector to explore how the industry's most forward-thinking companies are unlocking the full potential of neurodivergent talent - and building the infrastructure to support it.
Speakers
Tech was built on big thinking. The founders, engineers, and product thinkers who shaped the industry often describe their minds in ways that map directly onto neurodivergent experiences - intense focus, systems thinking, an ability to see what others miss. Yet despite this, many tech companies still lack the formal support structures to help neurodivergent employees thrive.
Join us for an intimate breakfast to discuss how leading tech organisations are turning neurodiversity into a genuine strategic advantage - from product innovation through to talent retention.
When: Thursday 4th June | 09:00AM – 11:00AM
Where: The Ivy Tower Bridge
We'll discuss topics such as:
- Why neurodivergent talent is disproportionately represented in tech - and why so many go undiagnosed and unsupported
- The link between neurodiversity, psychological safety, and the conditions that allow your best people to do their best work
- How to build an assessment and support pathway that works for engineers, designers, PMs, and beyond - not just those who self-identify
- What the most progressive tech companies are doing differently, and the measurable impact on retention, engagement, and output
We will also discuss the gaps between EAP provision, PMI coverage, and the specialist support neurodivergent employees actually need. This Friends of Fertifa breakfast offers a space to connect with peers across the tech sector and take away practical strategies for making neurodiversity a genuine strength in your organisation.
