Naidex

Naidex is a free two-day event at NEC Birmingham for disabled people, their families and carers, and the professionals who support them, and the next edition runs on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 March 2027. The organiser predicts more than 12,000 attendees, 250 exhibitors and 200 speakers for 2027, and the NEC says the show draws over 10,000 visitors each year.

You can try mobility equipment, compare assistive products and services, and hear lived experience and expert talks in one visit. Naidex has run for more than 50 years and is organised by ROAR B2B. It sits in our healthcare shows and among the many trade shows in Birmingham.

Five events on one ticket

Your free ticket covers the whole platform, which the organiser describes as five specialist events in one place. Alongside Naidex itself you get Naidex Junior, a space for children and young people with disabilities that launched in 2026; Neuro Rehab, which covers neurological rehabilitation and care; Business Without Barriers, a summit and careers fair on inclusive workplaces; and Care & Dementia, formed when UK Care Week and The Alzheimer's & Dementia Show merged for 2026. Care & Dementia offers a programme with up to 12 CPD points, Training2Care immersive sessions such as the Virtual Dementia Tour, and a CQC Inspector Hub for regulatory advice. Our guide to what a co-located exhibition ticket covers explains how to plan a visit across several shows.

What you can try on the show floor

The organiser lists an adaptive climbing wall with support for climbers of all abilities, a mobility test track, a marketplace, a children's play area and the Village Green, where performances and interactive sessions run through both days. There are talks on several stages and a recruitment fair where you can meet employers who say they are committed to accessible workplaces.

Who the show is for

Naidex is open to the public as well as to the trade. If you live with a disability or care for someone who does, you can find practical products and services for everyday life. Care providers, clinicians, therapists and local authority staff can use the seminar programme and CPD sessions, and businesses selling into the sector can exhibit or sponsor. If you work in therapy, you may also want the Occupational Therapy Show, held at the NEC in November with CPD sessions and assistive product exhibitors, or the Therapy Show, which lists more than 180 exhibitors across six conference streams.
