Neurodiversity In Hospitality Panel Discussions – Leeds, Aberdeen, Cardiff

Ahsoka Wallace to host neurodiversity discussion and drinks events in support of Equal Measures in September

Having hosted the first panel discussion on neurodiversity within hospitality in London earlier this Summer, Bartender Ahsoka Wallace has announced further sessions will take place in Leeds, Aberdeen, and Cardiff in September.

The panel discussions, along with a cocktail takeover to raise funds for non-profit organisation Equal Measures UK, will examine life within the hospitality industry for neurodiverse people, and discuss barriers, share stories and look at how the industry could change its approach to training and education to be more inclusive.

Ahsoka explains why they are hosting these sessions: “I am autistic myself and had my own journey. I am also trying to understand others’ experience. I hope by starting this initial conversations, we can inspire more and even change the approach people have to people management and training to help build a more healthier, accessible and inclusive industry. I also want to highlight resources available such as equal measures that individuals can access during the seminar.“

The first session will take place at The Maven in Leeds on September 8th, between 3pm – 5pm, with dates and venues for Aberdeen and Cardiff to be confirmed.
