NYC Neurodivergent Networking Evening ✨
Join us for a welcoming, low-pressure, joy-filled evening designed for neurodivergent professionals—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 use a simple color-matching system to help guide conversations—so you can connect at your own pace, in ways that feel safe, natural, and genuinely enjoyable.
Come as you are. Connect how you want. Stay as long (or short) as feels right.
🎨 How It Works
At the start of the event, you’ll be assigned a color.
That color becomes your gentle social signal for the evening. You’re invited to notice and connect with others who share your color—using the match as an easy, natural way to start conversation.
To support connection (and reduce social guesswork), you’ll also receive optional conversation prompts you can use as starters. These are there to guide you, not box you in—use them as much or as little as you’d like.
There’s no pressure to circulate, perform, or meet everyone. You can:
Stay with one conversation
Move at your own pace
Take breaks whenever you need
The goal isn’t networking harder—it’s connecting more comfortably, with clarity, consent, and kindness. ✨
