What is NeuroPlaces?
At NeuroPlaces, neuroinclusion isn't just a small cog in a large design fair - it's the front and centre, the mission and the reason that the event exists.
NeuroPlaces is an exciting 2-day conference & exhibition that brings together venue operators and neuroinclusive solution providers to reimagine how public places serve neurodivergent people. A place where exhibitors have access to a cross-sectional target audience, and where attendees have access to expert solution providers in neuroinclusion.
Providing a single marketplace for neuroinclusive solutions across sectors from retail and hospitality to parks and cultural venues, NeuroPlaces helps businesses apply PAS 6434 (BSI) principles to make spaces sensory-friendly, navigable, and welcoming to all brain types. Turn neuroinclusive design standards and ideas into real practical solutions at NeuroPlaces.
"87% of autistic adults experience difficulty in public spaces. Inclusive design isn't optional - it's essential." (National Autistic Society)
Why It Matters
Neuroinclusion isn't a side note- customers, regulations, and common sense demand it, and the business opportunity is huge.
An entire community of people, 15-20% of the UK, currently face exclusion from the majority of public places. With only 5% designed with them in mind, silent discrimination is often unintentional, due to lack of awareness, design bias or systemic neglect. But social expectations are shifting, customers and communities quite rightfully expect places to be truly inclusive and small changes can make a huge impact.
Neurodivergent folk have serious untapped spending power, taking up a substantial slice of £247 billion Purple Pound; this is too big to ignore. The UK economy is losing out every day due to the inclusion gap. Not only that, but legal and regulatory pressure is increasing with the European Accessibility Act (2025) and existing UK equality law require accessible services and physical spaces. Neuroinclusive design is no longer optional; it's a compliance issue.
After all, when we design for neurodivergent people, we create better places for everyone, boosting the economy and creating a win-win situation for all.

"Neuroinclusive design isn't just a luxury - it's essential public infrastructure... if a space isn't accessible to the mind, it isn't accessible at all." (BIS)
