NYC Neurodivergent Professionals Networking Evening ✨
Join us for a welcoming, low-pressure, joy-filled evening designed for neurodivergent professionals—created by neurodivergent-led communities.
This isn’t traditional networking.
There’s no forced small talk, no awkward room-scanning, and no pressure to perform.
Instead, we’ll gather in small, color-matched groups and explore fun trivia-style prompts together. Think of it less like networking and more like a collaborative game—where curiosity, creativity, and shared laughter guide the conversation.
Come as you are. Connect how you want. Stay as long (or as short) as feels right.
🎨 How It Works
At the start of the event, you’ll be assigned a color.
Your color helps you easily find your small group for the evening. Once you’ve found your fellow color-matches, you’ll work through a series of lighthearted trivia questions and prompts together.
The prompts are designed to spark conversation, curiosity, and collaboration—giving everyone something to talk about without the pressure of coming up with topics on the spot.
You can participate in whatever way feels comfortable for you:
Share answers with your group
Listen and enjoy the conversation
Contribute when you feel inspired
You’re always welcome to:
Take breaks when needed
Step in or out of conversations
Stay for one round or the whole event
The goal isn’t networking harder—it’s connecting more comfortably, through shared prompts, playful curiosity, and a space that respects different communication styles. ✨
