Tech & Design Meetup - Who Doesn’t Have ADHD?

Who Doesn’t Have ADHD? Are We All Wired Differently Now?

How do technology, design, and neurodivergence intersect in today’s hyper-optimized world? Join us at the EHV Innovation Café for a thought-provoking session with Ieva Valule, designer and digital pathology researcher, and Renee Malone, neuropsychologist and neurodiversity strategist.

• Designer–researcher Ieva Valule on mental health, media, and algorithmic identity
• Neuropsychologist & inclusion expert Renée Malone on building workplaces where neurodivergence can thrive

Together, they’ll explore how neurodivergent identities are shaped by algorithms, self-diagnosis, and workplace systems—and what inclusive, human-centered innovation could look like. The Future Is Neurodiverse.

Whether you're a tech builder, designer, recruiter, educator, neurodivergent individual, or curious thinker: expect sharp insights, personal reflections, and an open, safe space for conversation. We are Inclusive by Default and Give to Grow.

Expect an inspiring evening with bold ideas, critical questions, and imaginative alternatives to the status quo. Moderated by Charlotte Grün.
