ᵔᴥᵔ˘◡˘◕‿↼Shimmer & Neurode invite you to a night in San Francisco made for people like us.
Not every space is built for neurodivergent brains. This one is. ✨
Come as you are. Be with your people. Expect a happy-hour style evening where authenticity comes first—curated connections, a fireside chat with a luminary guest (to be announced), and a room full of people who get it.
💬 What people said about last year’s event:
“It was the first time I didn’t feel like I had to mask at a tech event.”
“I walked away with real connections, not just business cards.”
“I finally felt seen—and left more hopeful about what’s possible.”
✨ Last year we hit capacity at 200+ people within days—this year will be no different. Secure your spot early, and when you register, share a little about yourself to increase your chances of locking in a spot.
