About this Event

Join us (in partnership with iansyst) for our one-day Assistive Technology Innovation Festival at the Glasgow Science Centre, bringing together professionals, organisations, and specialists focused on supporting neurodivergent individuals.



What will we cover?

The event will showcase the latest developments in assistive technology, alongside a mix of presentations, practical workshops and live demonstrations.

There will be a strong hands-on focus throughout the day, giving delegates the opportunity to explore technology in practice, try out solutions, and see how different approaches can be applied in real-world settings.

Sessions will cover specialist areas including hearing impairments and ergonomics, along with practical strategies that can be applied straight away.



Glasgow Science Centre

Delegates will also have access to the Glasgow Science Centre’s interactive exhibition spaces, providing a hands-on opportunity to explore technology in action.


The day begins with the Assistive Technology and Training Exhibition at 9:15am, followed by the main conference (Speakers and presentations to be announced) from 9:45am. We will finish at 3:45pm, giving plenty of time for travelling home or to explore the Science Centre further.
