The Meetings Show, the UK’s leading event for the meetings and events industry, returns this year with a renewed commitment to inclusivity, accessibility, and wellbeing for all attendees. In partnership with EventWell, and with a focus on neuroinclusion and mental health, The Meetings Show 2025 is set to provide a safe, welcoming, and empowering space for every participant.
This year’s show will feature an enhanced range of wellbeing initiatives, including the return of the popular Quiet Room, designed as a calming, sensory-friendly space for anyone needing a break from the show floor. Additionally, through the EventWell partnership, all attendees will have access to a Buddy system, providing support to those who would prefer to navigate the event in a pair or a small group.
The Meetings Show 2025 is also championing accessibility within its education programme. Thanks to a collaboration with GevMe, all educational sessions will feature AI-powered live captioning, ensuring that content is more accessible and digestible for all attendees.
Further enhancing accessibility, the partnership with Lim will explore new ways to make content clear, engaging, and inclusive through live visual communication visuals to support group learning and direction.
"The Meetings Show has always been about bringing people together, but this year, we are making it clear that inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. Enhancing our partnership this year with EventWell was crucial, we are making sure that everyone can access, engage with, and enjoy everything the show has to offer."
Jack Marczewski, Portfolio Event Director, The Meetings Show.
EventWell have chosen The Meetings Show as their official partner for Event Wellbeing Week (June 23-27), with the powerful theme: “The Power of Pause: Self-Love as a Radical Act.”
This partnership further cements how The Meetings Show champions neuroinclusion and balance at the heart of everything they do. As part of this, attendees can participate in a variety of wellbeing sessions and access a range of support services.
After years of growing pressure, rising burnout, and post covid attrition in the events sector, the return of Event Wellbeing Week couldn’t be more timely.
“Let’s be honest, our industry has worn burnout like a badge of honour for far too long,” says Helen Moon, Founder & CEO of EventWell. “This week is about flipping that narrative. It’s not just about bubble baths and breathing apps, it's about real, strategic self-care. About boundaries. About rest. And about reclaiming the space we need to actually thrive in this brilliant industry.”
Attendees, exhibitors, and industry professionals are encouraged to explore the wellbeing and inclusivity initiatives on offer and to be part of a more supportive, accessible industry.
The Meetings Show 2025 will be co-located with Business Travel Show Europe and TravelTech Show. To find out more and register as a buyer, hosted buyer, or visitor, visit: The Meetings Show.
