A free 4-day online event to help you toss out the “rules” and build your online business to work for YOUR unique brain.
Jul 28 - Jul 31, 2025
Running an online business with a neurodivergent brain is NOT a proverbial walk in the park.
You’ve figured out a few things on your own, but most of the online business advice out there simply does NOT work for neurodivergent brains.
Maybe you've been told things like…
“You should launch in this exact proven way every time!” (yeah sure, okay 
)
“This [fill-in-the-blank] method of time management is fool-proof” (tell that to my ADHD 
)
“Make a task list of every single task and subtask and subsubtask, and then… just do it” (yes, and then have an anxiety attack just looking at it 
)
You’re tired of forcing yourself to run your business the way you’re “supposed to,” hating every second of it, and blaming yourself when it doesn’t work for you.
What you really want is to...
🥰
Offer products and services you actually LOVE delivering… even if that means it’s different than how you’re “supposed” to do it.
🎉
Stop forcing yourself to show up on content platforms you actually hate… and start marketing your business in a way that’s fun for you.
🗑
Ditch the super complicated/manual way of doing things (no more forgetting to send client invoices!) and set up your biz backend to be easy for you.
🤩
Embrace the shiny object syndrome and create all the new offers – and stop starting your whole business over from scratch each time you have a new idea (or feeling like you have to start a *whole new* business!)
💰
Reach whatever financial or success goals you have for your business that so far have felt out of reach, even though you’ve been banging your head against every tree you can find trying to get there.
You can build your business to work with your brain, not against it
And you don't have to figure it out all by yourself
The Neurodiverse Entrepreneur Summit® was created to help you build your online business in a way that works for YOU...
"best practices" and "rules" be damned
16 online business experts (who are all also neurodivergent!) over 4 days will teach you strategies you can use to build and grow your online business, the neurodivergent way.
It’s time to embrace your unique brain with love and compassion, and build your business to work with your brain, not against it

Meet Your Host 👋
Hi! I’m Claire (she/they), founder of the Neurodiverse Entrepreneur Summit® and creator of the group program Brain-Friendly Business.
I help neurodivergent & spoonie online entrepreneurs build their businesses in a way that works with their brains (rather than against), aligns with their values, and that they actually enjoy running!
I'm AuDHD (autistic+ADHD), with anxiety and chronic depression, as well as wildly fluctuating and unpredictable energy levels (#spoonielife). AKA I'm neurodivergent AF.
For years, I would beat myself up for not being productive enough, for not getting the thing done on time in the “right” way, for not getting “further along” in my business growth faster…
Eventually I decided that if what I was “supposed to do” wasn’t working, there must be a different way to do things — a way that works for my brain.
Over the years, I’ve figured out (and continue to figure out!) how to do this whole entrepreneur thing in a way that actually works for me and my brain and body.
And that’s what I want this summit to help you do too.
Grab your ticket and join me and 15 other neurodivergent online business experts for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you toss out the “usual” advice and build your business to work for you.
I can’t wait to see you there!

Specifically for YOUR brain
This is the fourth edition of the Neurodiverse Entrepreneur Summit®, but back in 2022 when it first started, this was the first ever summit specifically for neurodivergent online business owners. Trust me, I did my research!
At every step of the planning process, I made sure that every inch of this summit would be neurodivergent-friendly. From the structure to the speaker lineup to the special bonuses to the human-generated closed-captions, this summit from top to bottom was built for YOU.
No neurotypical advice, no gaslight-y mindset bullshit, no “just sit down and do it.” Because I know that sometimes, just sitting down and doing it is the hardest fucking part.
It's time to...
Stop beating yourself up for “self-sabotaging” your business (it’s not self-sabotage. It’s a culture telling you it’s your fault when really it’s just that your brain works differently and they didn’t teach you how to do the thing in a way that works for you)
Toss out the “rulebook” of business things that simply aren’t working for you
Build the business of your dreams, that’s easy and fun for you to run, and doesn’t burn you out or fill you with guilt/dread/shame
Embrace and celebrate your beautiful, unique brain and all the magic that comes with it

Frequently And/Or Hypothetically Asked Questions
Dummy
“Neurodivergent” is a sociopolitical identity that means that your brain works differently from how the rest of the world's does (or at least the way they expect it to).
It's not a medical term or a diagnosis, and it's not *only* ADHD and/or autism. It's for anyone who knows that their brains work a little (or a lot) differently.
“Neurodiverse” refers to a group of people with diverse different types of brains, but it's also commonly used as a synonym for “neurodivergent.”
It's called the Neurodiverse Entrepreneur Summit because it's for a diverse range of neurodivergent brains, and the speakers represent a diverse collection of different types of neurodivergent 💖
Whether you're ADHD, autistic, OCD, dyslexic, have anxiety, chronic depression, PTSD, BPD, or just know that your brain is neurosparkly in some way but you're not sure in what way, you're welcome under the neurodivergent umbrella 
Abso-friggin-lutely.
I (Claire, the founder) am very pro-self-diagnosis.
There are a lot of barriers to getting a diagnosis in a lot of countries, including years-long waiting lists and prohibitive costs.
Plus, a person could have safety reasons for not pursuing diagnosis, like wanting to avoid discrimination from school admin or at work or even from family (just look at Britney Spears). And we can't forget the dangerous situation for NDers in the US that RFK is creating.
Not to mention that for a lot of neurodivergent conditions, the research (and therefore toooooo many doctors) just don't fully know about or understand them, and therefore don't accurately diagnose (i.e. “you can't be autistic, you've been making eye contact with me” 🙄 That's not how it works, doc.) It took me over a year to get an official ADHD diagnosis because of this very reason.
If you've done your research and have come to the informed and considered realization that you probably have a neurodivergent condition even though you don't have a diagnosis, you can absolutely identify as neurodivergent in my book 🤗
You don't need a doctor's permission slip for community.
Also abso-friggin-lutely. We like to be as inclusive as we can here!
I'm not a fan of gatekeeping community based on a doctor's permission slip.
The number of people who've gone undiagnosed their whole lives (especially those who weren't raised as cisgender white boys) is astronomical. There are soooooo many of us (especially in the millennial generation) who got overlooked as kids, and now that neurodivergent TikTok is happening and more and more people are talking about their lived experiences online, more and more people are resonating with that content and then realizing that maybe that's them too.
And maybe it's you.
And also maybe it's not.
And either way is totally fine.
You're still absolutely welcome in this space, and if the stuff you've seen on socials has resonated for you, this stuff might too, and I think that's pretty great 
It sure is! There are a lot of offerings out there for general online business owners, but this one has been created specifically for us neurodivergent people and how to build our businesses in a way that works for us.
Non-neurodivergent (aka neurotypical) online entrepreneurs could easily benefit from this summit as well — accessibility usually means more accessible for everyone, not just the people being accommodated, and in this case we're making our businesses more accessible for ourselves!
That's a great question: I'd say sort of?
The summit is designed for online entrepreneurs (especially course creators, coaches, service providers, and similar businesses), so the presentations will mostly be speaking from that angle.
But there's probably loads of goodness that will apply to business in general that you'll still really benefit from.
So it's up to you 🤗
The main portion of the summit runs from Monday July 28 through Thursday July 31. The Facebook Group will be available right away when you get your free ticket, and there will be lots of fun stuff happening in there between now and when the summit starts!
Each presentation (both video and private podcast version) will be available for 48-hours. I’m doing this because as an ADHD person, I hate when summits only allow 24 hours access to the videos – I have a life! And I’m also super forgetful and distractible! So I always end up missing the presentations I really want to watch. And if it's *too* long a window, I always say “I'll watch it tomorrow” over and over and inevitably don't watch any of it lol. And I don’t want that for you!
However, after you register, you can grab the Busy Brains Pass or the Extended Access Pass to get lifetime access to all of the presentations!
- Inside the Extended Access Pass, you'll get:
All the presentation videos from the summit
All the presentations in a private podcast (in case your brain does better with listening so you can multitask/fidget)
Fully-formatted, edited, written article versions of each presentation (in case your brain does better with reading than listening/watching)
A bundle of premium resources to help you build your brain-friendly business (total value: $2000+)
Replays of all the live events and panels (in video and private podcast)
$200 off enrollment in my group coaching program Brain-Friendly Business
An invitation to my private FB Group, the Chaos Gremlin Water Cooler
No way! The only person you'll get emails from after you sign up is me, Claire, the founder of the Neurodiverse Entrepreneur Summit®.
That's so you can get all the updates for the summit and links to each day's presentations. After the summit is over, you'll continue to hear from me, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
As for the speakers, the only way your email address will be shared with them is if you opt-in for their freebie during their presentations. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to 15+ email lists that you're not interested in.
Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
To avoid tech glitches, save my sanity, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at the same time at the beginning of each day.
There will be live events throughout the days during the summit, though!
The panels are live video calls about a specific topic with a group of our speakers and sponsors.
All attendees will be able to attend the live calls and submit questions to be answered by the panelists, plus 48 hours access to watch the replays.
The other live events are various events hosted by some of our awesome sponsors! For the live hot-seat coaching sessions, you'll be able to apply ahead of time with your specific thing you want their coaching around, and then on the day of the session, the sponsor will get on a livestream and invite the hot-seat-ers on for coaching one at a time. Replays of these sessions will be available for 48 hours.
If you upgrade to the Busy Brains Pass (our premium all-access pass), you'll get lifetime access to the replays of all the live events.
The panel schedule and speakers are listed above.
All of our speakers for this summit have been hand-picked and our slots are currently full. However, we're open to additional affiliates or potential speakers for next year's summit. If you're interested in affiliate details for this year’s summit, or being considered for the Neurodiverse Entrepreneur Summit® 2026, email hello@clairepaniccia.com !
We’ve done everything we could think of to make the event as accessible as possible, but if there's something that you need that would make the event more accessible to you, please don't hesitate to reach out via email at hello@clairepaniccia.com
Here's what we're doing to make the summit more accessible for you:
All presentations have clean human-generated closed captioning (one of the benefits of doing pre-recorded presentations) as well as clean human-generated transcripts.
.txt versions of the transcripts are available for those who need them for braille machines, just reach out to us via email at hello@clairepaniccia.com
A free private podcast version of the summit will be available to all attendees
Fully-formatted article versions of the presentations as well as a private podcast of the presentations are also available with the Extended Access Pass or Busy Brains Pass (the all-access pass upgrade options) that you’ll see after registering for the summit.
Timers showing when the presentation you're watching expires are visible right there on the page, because I know as an ADHD person, time-blindness is real, and it's helpful to have visual reminders.
For the special one-time offer to upgrade your ticket with the Busy Brains Pass or Extended Access Pass that you'll see after you register for the summit, we've made the timer on that offer 12 hours, instead of the industry standard of 15-30 minutes.
Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re able to enjoy this event. We want to make sure this whole thing is accessible to everyone, so we're super open to ideas!
No problem! Shoot an email over to hello@clairepaniccia.com and me or my team will get back to you within 3-4 business days.
