2022 Annual International Conference on ADHD
Dallas, Texas
November 17–19, 2022






THE 2022 ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADHD will be both a live and a virtual event. Yes, we will be holding a hybrid conference this year. What does that mean?Well, you can come and join us in Dallas to get all the face-to-face fun that we have always enjoyed. There will be over ninety presentations: workshops, peer support groups, and gatherings of all sorts. Sessions will cover a wide variety of topics for audiences comprising both professionals and consumers. You’ll find fascinating research symposia and an amazing exhibition hall. And don’t forget the talent show!
But if you are not able to make it to Dallas, you can still join us online. Every keynote address will be offered live and recorded. Three sessions from each general conference session time slot will be recorded and you can choose which one to join. Question-and-answer sessions will be available both live and virtual.
Our theme this year is Strength in Connection, as we all adapt to the changes of the last two years and work together to create a better life going forward.
Whichever one you pick—Live Conference or Virtual Conference—mark the date in your diary and plan now to join the largest ADHD event of the year.
Keynote Speakers
Thursday Keynote
Scott Kollins, PhD
Real World Data, the Evolving Landscape of Clinical Research, and Implications for ADHD Care Management
The opening keynote presentation will provide an overview of the concepts of real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE), and how these types of data can be important to facilitate treatment development and clinical care. The presentation will highlight how RWD/RWE can complement more traditional clinical trials, as well as some of the practical and ethical issues in the collection, aggregation, and analysis of patient data gathered from real world sources. The implications of the RWD/RWE movement will be discussed specifically from the standpoint of ADHD care management and treatment development.
Friday Keynote
Napoleon Higgins, MD
Lost in the Transitions: The Impact of Under-Recognized ADHD in Marginalized Communities Across the Lifespan
ADHD occurs across the lifespan, affecting individuals and outcomes. This talk will focus on how marginalized communities are affected by undertreated ADHD. We will look at the issue of bias in clinicians and educators and discuss how this bias affects diagnosis and treatment. The intent is to close the gap regarding treatment and prevent poor outcomes from ADHD.
Saturday Keynote
René Brooks
Relabeling Yourself After an ADHD Diagnosis
For some people, hearing the words “It’s ADHD” brings relief; for others, it can produce feelings of shame. So much of that is bound up in the idea of ADHD being a label—something we’ve been taught to avoid at all costs. Here’s how I relabeled myself after my ADHD diagnosis, and how you can begin to define what your label is.
