Rachel Jackson takes neuroinclusive design from Las Vegas to London to Baltimore

Austin interior designer Rachel Jackson is bringing neuroinclusive design to three major 2026 events: HD Expo in Las Vegas, NeuroPlaces in London, and the International Conference on ADHD in Baltimore. Her schedule shows the niche is moving into hospitality, public-space design, and ADHD-focused care.

Why it matters: - Rachel Jackson’s 2026 speaking run shows neuroinclusive design moving into mainstream hospitality, workplace, and clinical conversations. - The same design principles are reaching three different audiences: hotel and restaurant operators, public-space designers, and people living with ADHD. - Jackson’s work connects interior design choices to comfort, attention, and nervous system regulation in everyday spaces.

Between the lines: - Jackson’s schedule suggests neuroinclusive design is expanding from a specialist idea into a practical framework for multiple industries. - The event lineup also shows the message is being tailored by audience, moving from hospitality professionals to design leaders to people with lived experience of ADHD. - Her own ADHD experience appears to shape both her professional practice and her teaching approach.
