ADHD2024 Conference on ADHD
ACO, ADDA, and CHADD—the leaders in ADHD support for individuals and families—welcome the ADHD community to the Annual International Conference on ADHD. These organizations collaborate to bring together the best minds in current research and treatment options and professionals offering best practice guidelines for their fields.
We focus on what it means to Connect, Learn, and Thrive. It is through the connections we make along with the new skills and approaches we learn from one another that our ADHD community can thrive. At #ADHD, we will Connect.Learn.Thrive by gathering as adults and partners, parents of children in all stages of life, clinicians of all kinds, coaches, organizers, educators, and advocates, to inspire one another and enhance all our lives.
This conference will feed not only your mind but also your soul as you meet other like-minded individuals. We will welcome some of the most well-known speakers and authors to share their wisdom and research. You will also benefit from conversations with fellow attendees sitting next to you in sessions, during the coffee breaks, and wandering the exhibit hall.
