Our Founding Advisory Board
We are building an esteemed Advisory Board team of neuroinclusive experts from an array of backgrounds, helping to shape NeuroPlaces 2026.
What is NeuroPlaces?
At NeuroPlaces, neuroinclusion isn't just a small cog in a large design fair - it's the front and centre.
NeuroPlaces is an exciting 2-day conference & exhibition where venue operators and neuroinclusive solution providers come together to redesign public places for neurodivergent people. Exhibitors get exposure; attendees connect with expert providers.
NeuroPlaces offers a unified marketplace across sectors - retail, hospitality, parks, sports & cultural venues - applying PAS 6463 guidelines to make spaces sensory-friendly, navigable and welcoming for all. Come and turn design standards into practical solutions.
87% of autistic adults experience difficulty in public spaces. Inclusive design isn't optional - it's essential.

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, up to 15-20% of the UK, are at risk of facing exclusion from the majority of public places.
Because so few places are designed with neurodivergent people in mind, silent discrimination often arises unintentionally - from design bias, lack of awareness or systemic neglect. But times are changing. Customers, communities and regulators increasingly expect true inclusivity, and even small changes can make a big difference.
Neurodivergent people represent a significant share of the £247 billion 'Purple Pound' - a market too large to ignore. Every day the UK loses out because of the inclusion gap. Legal and regulatory pressure is also mounting: from the European Accessibility Act (2025) to current UK equality laws. Neuroinclusive design is no longer optional - it's a requirement.
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.
