PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: What conferences should I attend as an executive function coach? (2025)

I recently received this question from an enrollee of our executive function coaching certification program.

Are there any seminars/workshops/conferences that you recommend I attend to learn and grow more? I am very open to traveling to some as well. I guess my question is, where would I find these events and how can I sign up?

Exploring opportunities for personal and professional development is crucial for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and network.

Whether you're eager to connect with others in your field, discover innovative strategies for growth, or simply find inspiration for your next big idea, attending well-curated events can be transformative.

Here are some top recommendations for seminars, workshops, and conferences that are definitely worth considering:

About Me

Hey! I'm Sean 👋

I'm a former public school special education teacher who realized that executive function skills are more important than knowing when George Washington crossed the Potomac.

Since then, I've made it my mission to teach anyone who will listen about how to develop these key life skills.

In 2020, I founded Executive Function Specialists to ensure all students with ADHD and Autism have access to high-quality online executive function coaching services. We offer online EF coaching and courses to help students and families.

Realizing I could only reach so many people through coaching, in 2021 I started the Executive Function Coaching Academy which trains schools, educators, and individuals to learn the key strategies to improve executive function skills for students.

In 2023, I co-founded of UpSkill Specialists, to provide neurodivergent adults with high-quality executive function coaching services.

When not pursuing my passions through work, I love spending time with my family, getting exercise, and expanding my brain through reading. You can connect with me on LinkedIn.
