Our key speakers are both discussing neuroinclusion, but from dramatically different perspectives.
Dan Jenkins contributes to the design of railway systems internationally, helping ensure inclusivity throughout the passenger journey. Rail travel and workplaces have more in common than we might think. For some, they’re a matter of choice, spaces that can be customised and elevated to stand out, attracting those fortunate enough to be able to choose them. But for many others, the reality is different. Travel and work can feel like fixed, sometimes uncomfortable, elements of daily life. Until recently, neurodiversity wasn’t something we typically considered in either space, but that’s changing fast.
This talk will explore how designing with neuroinclusion in mind can transform these environments, not just for those with a diagnosis, but for everyone. With practical tips and fresh insights, you’ll discover how spaces can become more tolerable, welcoming, engaging and desirable for all.
Dr David Mushati is a rare creature: a clinician who thinks commercially! His background in mental health and neurodevelopment across all generations in both the NHS and private sectors gives him unique insights into the challenges and benefits of neuroinclusion.
His talk will demonstrate how workplaces thrive when each individual’s strengths are identified and supported. However, too often, neurodivergent talent is overlooked or underutilised. This session investigates how organisations can move from awareness to action, establishing neuroinclusion as a practical reality and a strategic advantage.
The talk will cover the following topics based on evidence, real-world examples, and future trends:
• Understanding neurodiversity
• Why Neuroinclusion is Important for Performance, Innovation, and Culture.
• How Leaders and teams can take practical steps to make their environments more inclusive.
• How organisations gain a strategic advantage by allowing neurodivergent colleagues to thrive.
Attendees will walk away with clear insights and a better understanding of how to turn good intentions into measurable outcomes.
