Netflix star Chloé Hayden is an award-winning motivational speaker, actor, performer, author and disability rights activist and advocate. The heart of which these all intersect being her passion for creating change, celebrating diversity, and pushing towards a better future. Diagnosed as autistic (and ADHD) at the age of thirteen, Chloe is now starring as one of the world's first autistic characters, Quinni in Netflix's Heartbreak High. With her messages of 'Different, Not Less' and 'Find Your Eye Sparkle', Chloé is fighting for a better future for those whose voices have been silenced for too long.

Mother and Son Judy and Tim Sharp share with us their inspirational story of how a boy diagnosed with severe autism went on to become one of Australia's best-known international artists and the creator of Laser Beak Man. A Double Shot of Happiness is a heartfelt keynote about their journey told by Mother and Son Judy and Tim Sharp.

Ben Pettingill sees life in a different way to most. At age 16, Ben lost 98% of his eyesight overnight to a rare genetic syndrome, Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. This sudden traumatic event turned his world upside down, redefined everything he knew and crushed all his childhood dreams in an instant. Ben went on to university to study business. It was during his studies that Ben realised his passion is to inspire everyone to see the world with a whole new view. This is what Ben calls True and Limitless Vision.
