Dyslexia Show re-launches its debut event at NEC as part of Dyslexia Awareness Week
UK / AGILITYPR.NEWS / October 08, 2021 / The UK’s first national exhibition dedicated to the field of dyslexia and associated conditions, will take place at the NEC, Birmingham in March 2022.
The announcement comes during Dyslexia Awareness Week (4- 10 October 2021), which this year focuses on invisible dyslexia, to explore the entire theme of visibility within the community.
Previously set to make its debut in March 2020, Dyslexia Show aims to spread awareness and support education, parents and the workplace. Bringing together 49+ exhibitors and 60+ leading experts, the live event will offer products and services, be an opportunity to share knowledge, spread awareness and support continuing professional development (CPD) in all areas of dyslexia. The event’s aim is to ultimately ensure that we all have an informed choice in the awareness and support of dyslexia by:
- Delivering support
- Delivering awareness
- Delivering knowledge
- Delivering change
Over the past 18 months, Dyslexia Show has been working closely with partners, sponsors, exhibitors, and amazing speakers to create a unique exhibition for all within the community.
Dyslexia Show Director and Founder, Arran Smith, said: “As a severely dyslexic adult working for 15 years within the dyslexia sector, I felt it was time to bring amazing speakers, products and services together in one place. This will be the first, national experience of its kind in the UK, which will ultimately spread awareness of dyslexia and ensure that dyslexics can succeed. There are exciting times ahead!”
NEC Exhibition Sales Director, Catherine Penny, added: “We are proud that Arran and his team have chosen the NEC for the event’s debut. Our location in the heart of the UK has the ability to attract great numbers to the event and teamed with the fantastic content the Dyslexia Show has planned, will spread much needed awareness of dyslexia and associated conditions.”

About Us
About Dyslexia
There is estimated 10% UK population that have some severity of dyslexia. It is still often poorly understood, and with the right awareness, support and strategies, those with dyslexia can reach their full potential.
Dyslexia is a neurological difference and can have a significant impact during education, in the workplace and in everyday life. As each person is unique, so is everyone's experience of dyslexia. It can range from mild to severe, and it can co-occur with other learning differences. It usually runs in families and is a life-long condition.
It is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields.
