London Tech Week Joins EventWell’s SensorySafe™ Programme as a QSSS WT Event

London, June 2026 – EventWell® is proud to announce that London Tech Week 2026 has joined the SensorySafe™ Programme as a QSSS WT (Working Towards) Event, recognising its commitment to creating a more neuroinclusive, neuroaffirming and psychologically safe experience for attendees.

Building on a successful partnership in 2025, EventWell returned to London Tech Week this year with an expanded programme of support, helping to embed wellbeing, accessibility and neurodiversity considerations more deeply across the event experience.

Across the three-day event, EventWell supported more than 700 direct attendee interactions, including 484 visits to the SensoryCalm™ Quiet Room and 220 attendees participating in CalmHub educational and wellbeing sessions.

However, the collaboration extended far beyond the Quiet Room itself.

Working alongside the London Tech Week team, EventWell supported a broader approach to neuroinclusive event design, incorporating attendee regulation spaces, staff awareness, wellbeing education and environmental considerations throughout the event.

As part of the initiative, attendees had access to:

• A larger SensoryCalm™ Quiet Room providing a supervised space for rest, recovery and regulation.
• The new CalmHub learning space, offering micro-learning sessions focused on neurodiversity, mental wellbeing and nervous system regulation.
• Practical wellbeing sessions including breathwork, chair yoga and progressive muscle relaxation.
• ‘Take Five’ dedicated rest and regulation points positioned around the venue, allowing attendees opportunities to pause, recharge and reset throughout the day.
• Neuro-awareness guidance and training for event teams and crew to improve confidence in supporting neurodivergent attendees.
• Consideration of attendee communications, visitor flow and queue management through a neuroinclusive lens.

The work forms part of EventWell’s emerging SensorySafe™ and QSSS (Quality Sensory Safety & Supervision Standards) framework, which seeks to move organisations beyond traditional accessibility approaches and towards creating environments that are genuinely neuroaffirming.

Helen Moon, Founder and CEO of EventWell®, said:

“For us, neuroinclusion is only the starting point. The real question is whether an environment makes a neurodivergent person feel safe enough to be themselves. Can they ask for help? Can they regulate when they need to? Can they participate without feeling they need to mask who they are? That is what neuroaffirming practice looks like, and London Tech Week has demonstrated a genuine commitment to exploring that journey. The SensorySafe™ Programme recognises that creating safer environments requires more than simply providing a quiet room or working through a checklist to add accessibility measures. It considers the entire attendee experience, from communications and registration through to navigation, environment, support provision and post-event feedback. As a QSSS WT Event, London Tech Week has committed to ongoing development and continuous improvement against these standards in future years. Feedback from attendees highlighted the value of providing spaces for regulation and recovery within busy event environments.”

Nikki Willard, from London Tech Week said:

“Having seen what an impact the SensoryCalm Room had at last year’s event, we were keen to expand it so that more people could benefit – and we had more than double the number of people using the space at this year’s event which goes to show that it’s a vital resource for delegates, not just a nice to have.  In addition to providing an expanded quiet room, working with Helen and EventWell has helped open our eyes to other ways we can make our events more inclusive – sometimes just a small tweak here and there can make a huge difference to our delegates’ experience.  We’re really proud that EventWell have recognised our efforts so far and value their support in continuing to make improvements.”

One attendee commented:

“The fact that you were even there was a huge positive. My introvert self just needed two minutes to reload, and I’m glad I had your space.”

For EventWell, the partnership represents an important step in demonstrating how neuroaffirming principles can be embedded into large-scale events and exhibitions.

The organisation plans to continue developing the SensorySafe™ and QSSS frameworks in 2026, working with organisers, venues and industry partners to create practical standards that support neurodivergent attendees, visitors, staff and speakers.

Looking ahead to its tenth anniversary in 2027, EventWell intends to formally launch a suite of SensorySafe™ accreditation pathways covering events, venues, workplaces, campuses, schools and community spaces.
