## Results — Diversity Talks 2024 — speaker

APAC virtual summit

[Campaign Asia's](https://www.campaignasia.com/) Diversity Talks 2024 was an APAC-wide virtual summit. I spoke about neurodiversity, mental wellbeing, and how DE&I models are changing across the region's media and marketing industry.

### The grounding

By 2024 the advocacy had a track record behind it: the [GroupM × Amaze partnership piloting the A-Plus Inclusion program](/work/groupm-amaze), a 16-point Disability Action Plan underway, manager training rolled out across AUNZ, and my advisory work with [Amaze](https://www.amaze.org.au/).

Underneath those topics sits the personal story I have told publicly: [diagnosed as a teenager, reframing the diagnosis as empowering rather than limiting](/article/my-diagnosis). I keep handing the industry one basic principle: ask, don't assume.

### Why a regional stage matters

DE&I conversations in media usually stay trapped inside single markets. An APAC summit puts Australian programs like the [Amaze](https://www.amaze.org.au/) partnership in front of the whole region. In 2025, [Campaign Asia](https://www.campaignasia.com/) awarded Gold for Diverse-Inclusive Workplace of the Year (APAC) to work I was proud to be part of.
