Autism Tree created this event in 2015 as a unique gathering of diverse, open-minded individuals who care about autism and neurodiversity. It brings together top scientists, researchers, families, donors, media, and therapists to share global perspectives and insights.

The Autism Tree Annual Neurodiversity Conference is chaired by Alysson Muotri, Ph.D. of the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine and our 2024 Moderator is Dr. Brian Boyd of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

On November 12, 2021, we hosted our first virtual Global Neuroscience Conference, featuring keynote speaker Sir Simon Baron-Cohen. In 2022 and 2023, our Hybrid Global Neurodiversity Conferences took place at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine in La Jolla, CA, recorded by UCTV and streamed on Autism Tree's YouTube channel. Both events were highly successful, attracting over 500 attendees and reaching 280,000+ views from 16 countries.
