2024 Dates Announced!

We are thrilled to announce AutistiCon is back for 2024!

The date and venue have both been confirmed, and the 2024 event will take place on Tuesday, 11th June from 9.30am – 4pm and will be located at Leeds Playhouse in Leeds City Centre.  

What is AutistiCon?

AutistiCon is a FREE annual event which aims to educate, enlighten and share what it really means to be autistic.

The event hosts guest speakers, information stalls, activities, as well as performances and artworks created by autistic people.

We believe that as a free, open to all, autism convention, AutistiCon is a genuinely innovative and unique experience.

Save the date!

The steering group are working hard on confirming plans for the 2024 event, so sign up to our mailing list to stay up-to-date!

New Logo For AutistiCon

We have a brand new logo for the AutistiCon event! We held a hugely successful Logo Design Competition earlier this year and the winning design was submitted by Barbra Barnes.

The Competition was tough, and every single entry was fantastic, so we will be displaying other entrants’ designs as part of the AutistiCon art exhibition which will be held at the event. 

The winning design will be displayed on all promotional materials and posters for this year’s event and the winner was awarded a prize of 2 tickets to see a show at Leeds Playhouse. Congratulations Barbra!
