ADDAverse Open House: July 22 & 23
Don’t Miss the ADDAverse Open House!
Wait…What’s the ADDAverse?
The ADDAverse is one small (but mighty) part of ADDA’s upcoming event- The 2022 ADHD Global Gathering. On July 22 and 23 we kick off the first ever real-time, 30-hour long, global ADHD event!
Taking place in all time zones, adults with ADHD from around the world will come together to SPARK new ideas, form new connections, and learn from one another. Using ADHD best practices, the event formatting is uniquely and specifically constructed for ADHD adults and resembles a blend between a conference, a workshop, a video game, and a fireside chat.
Those attending the 2022 ADHD Global Gathering will choose one of the three ”SPARK Tracks” (or ADHD topic tracks) where they learn, discuss, try, and apply the concepts to SPARK meaningful and impactful lifelong changes.
Okay, So, What’s the ADDAverse Open House?
After the 2022 ADHD Global Gathering SPARK Sessions there are opportunities to connect with the greater global ADHD Community in the ADDAverse! We didn’t want to keep this space limited to only those that attend the event (It’s to awesome not to share!), so we’re opening it up to ALL ADDA MEMBERS FOR FREE!
The ADDAverse is a virtual platform that mimics a physical community. By use of an avatar, this networking hub will allow you to walk around, meetup, and connect with other ADDA Members in virtual areas such as parks, game halls, cafés, gardens, and pubs.
