Diverge: Wired to Disrupt Summit
Host: Patrick Casale and Gabrielle Juliano
Location:Â Virtual Summit
Most summits expect you to show up live, stay seated uncomfortably for eight hours, and absorb everything in one format. Meanwhile, you are masking and white-knuckling through the whole thing.This is definitely not that. I'm proud to be speaking at the DIVERGE Summit.
DIVERGE is a free virtual summit (August 24–Sept 4, 2026) built for neurodivergent entrepreneurs, visionaries, thought leaders, and creatives. Hosted by 2 neurodivergent entrepreneurs, it includes a diverse panel of neurodivergent visionaries, and creatives. 23+ speakers. All neurodivergent.Â
Sign up for the self-paced summit using the button below. If you want to keep everything (lifetime access to every recording) plus the freebies, workbooks, and resources speakers like me are contributing, there's a one-time $97 VIP option. No monthly subscriptions, no upsells.
