We have asked the same of our exhibitors.

We will have FREE Coffee and Tea for everyone! There are water fountains available for you to fill your water bottles. A Subway and Tim Hortons are attached to the buildings (we are waiting to confirm their hours - and will update once available).

No, the Adapt Expo will not be hosting a sensory-friendly hour this year. Despite our best attempts in 2025 - we feel we are unable to safely offer this to those with sensory sensitivities.

Details to come. We have had "regulation stations" available to all attendees/exhibitors in the past. This is a designated calm space where individuals can use various sensory tools & stations.

Service animals are always welcomed! There will be access to outdoors from the Fieldhouse - as well as a separate, quiet room indoors, if needed.
