Sensory Hour - A Calmer Expo Experience
A dedicated Sensory Hour will take place from 3:00pm to 4:00pm, offering a calmer and more accessible way to experience the Expo.
This session supports people who prefer a quieter environment, including those who may find busy, high-energy spaces overwhelming, or who simply benefit from a slower pace.
During this hour, noise levels, crowd movement, and announcements will be reduced. You will still be able to meet employers, training providers, and support services, but in a setting designed to feel more comfortable and manageable.
