NNF - sponsor logo Incluscape

IncluScape is a people‑centred inclusion consultancy that helps organisations create workplaces where everyone feels understood, supported, and able to contribute fully. Built on the belief that inclusion should be about people in a realistic and actionable way, our understanding of the corporate environment means we’re realistic and understand the questions you may have around how to implement proper inclusion.  We turn inclusion around disability and neurodiversity into clear, accessible, everyday practice.

The work begins with listening. Every organisation has its own culture, pressures, and ambitions, so IncluScape meets people where they are without judgement, jargon, or assumptions. Workshops are interactive and grounded in real experience, whether it’s a one‑hour introduction or a half‑day session. Popular topics include Disability Awareness, Understanding Neurodiversity, and The Value of Inclusion, each designed to build confidence, improve communication, and help teams support one another well.

Beyond training, IncluScape helps organisations embed inclusion into their systems and processes,  from onboarding and support plans to policies and people‑centred decision‑making. Clients value the clarity, warmth, and honesty that underpin every piece of work, often forming long‑term partnerships as their needs evolve.

Rooted in community and committed to meaningful change across the region, IncluScape champions progress over perfection. Its mission is simple: to make inclusion real, relatable, and genuinely transformative, one conversation and one workplace at a time.

Spark Labs Creative Agency - Event Sponsor

The Spark Labs is a strategic branding consultancy for business owners who know their brand should be working harder for them, they just need the right support to get it there.

We believe great branding starts long before anything is designed. It starts with understanding your business, your people, and what genuinely sets you apart. From there, every creative decision has purpose and direction, so the end result is a brand that doesn’t just look the part, it feels right and communicates clearly.

And we don’t stop there. Through our three specialist labs, we take care of everything from the strategic groundwork and visual identity, right through to your ongoing marketing processes  so you have consistent, expert support at every stage of your brand’s growth.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, going through a rebrand, or simply feel like something isn’t quite clicking, we’re here to help you figure it out. No jargon, no pressure, just a straightforward conversation about where you are and where you want to be.

We’d love to hear about your business. Get in touch and let’s start the conversation.

belong framework

The BELONG Framework® is IncluScape’s practical, human‑centred approach to helping organisations move beyond awareness and into real, confident neuroinclusion. It was created to give leaders something they often don’t have: a clear, structured way to understand their people, remove barriers, and build workplaces where everyone can think, communicate, and work in ways that suit their minds.

At its heart, BELONG is about making inclusion doable. It brings together awareness, education, inclusive practices, support systems, and everyday leadership behaviours into one accessible framework that organisations can actually use. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just practical tools that help people feel valued, supported, and able to contribute their best work.

The BELONG Framework helps leaders recognise strengths, adapt environments, and create cultures where neurodivergent talent isn’t accommodated,  it’s understood, valued,  empowered, and celebrated as a driver of innovation and performance, a way of working that builds confidence, clarity, and genuine belonging across an organisation.

As his freelance business rapidly evolved into a small team of creative, talented people, Alan Sawyers faced a crossroads — remain a solo venture or become an ‘agency’ with all the connotations that brings. It turned out to be neither. Instead, AS Design became a strategic partner that helps businesses turn ideas into impact. With client relationships dating back to 2003, Alan and the AS Design team integrate themselves deeply into their clients’ businesses, often described as “an extension of our own team.”
