Keynote Speaker (DAY 1) - Ari Tuckman

He has given more than 800 presentations and podcast interviews and routinely earns excellent reviews for his ability to make complicated information understandable and useful. He is the author of five books on adult ADHD, including his latest, The ADHD Productivity Manual. He is a co-chair of CHADD’s conference committee and was awarded the 2023 Hall of Fame award for his significant contributions to the field. He serves as an expert for Understood.org.

Keynote Speaker (DAY 2) - Tamara Rosier, PhD

Clinical Psychologist, Author

Dr. Tamara Rosier is a captivating and highly regarded speaker, widely recognized as a leading authority on ADHD and neurodiversity. Her signature blend of warmth, humor, and practical wisdom transforms complex concepts into relatable, actionable insights that resonate with diverse audiences.

As the founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, Dr. Rosier has dedicated her career to empowering individuals, families, and organizations to embrace the unique strengths of ADHD.

Please note a change in our keynote lineup: our original speaker Dr. Thomas E. Brown is no longer able to attend our 17th Annual ADHD Conference. However, back by popular demand, Ari Tuckman joins us once again as our Day 1 keynote, along with Tamara Rosier for Day 2!
