Entrances, venue & wheelchair access

• All floors of the Slush venue are accessible by lift, ensuring easy movement between different areas.
• Each floor of the venue is equipped with easy-access toilets, clearly marked with signage at the venue and visible in the event map. There is also guidance provided at info desks whenever needed.
• We have dedicated wheelchair spots for audience members at each stage, as well as wheelchair-accessible ramps for speakers joining us on stage. If you need assistance, our friendly Info Volunteers are happy to guide you to these spots.

Sensory accessibility & quiet spaces

At Slush, we strive to create an inclusive environment for attendees with sensory sensitivities. We understand that large events can be overwhelming and have designed the following services to support your experience.

• Quiet Room: Messukeskus Siipi Room 213 on the third floor of the Partner Side Event Wing is designated as a Quiet Room where attendees can relax, meditate, or pray. It’s open from 8 AM–10 PM during the main event (Nov 20–21) and is equipped with simple furniture to ensure a peaceful atmosphere.
• Sensory toolkit: To assist with managing sensory overload, attendees can request earplugs, sunglasses, and communication cards at the two Info Points found at the venue. These items are designed to help visitors who may experience sensory sensitivities during the event.
• Noise levels: During the day program, noise exposure will remain below 85 dB LAeq (8h).
• Event design & flashing lights: Please note that many areas at Slush feature sensory elements like flashing lights, lasers, and large screens. Additionally, the venue includes art installations, bold colors, varied shapes, and diverse lighting, all of which can create significant sensory stimulation. These elements may affect individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or those sensitive to visual or auditory stimuli.If you need to avoid these areas, our Info Volunteers are available to guide you to quieter, less stimulating routes.

Safety Mediators

We are dedicated to ensuring Slush is a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Our Safety Mediators are trained professionals available to help in situations of discomfort, conflict, or sensory overload.

• Who they are: Our Safety Mediators are licensed psychologists from Laavu.io, easily identifiable by their blue vests. They are present at all key events, including the Main Event, Investor Day, Founders Day, and the Afterparty.
• How to reach:
  • Find them live at the venue. Anyone can approach the Safety Mediators at the events they are present (ID, FD, Main Event, Afterparty, Volunteer Afterparty). You can recognize the Safety Mediators from their blue vests.
  • Ask our security, volunteers, or crew. You can approach any of our security personnel, volunteers, or crew and ask for the mediators, and they will find the Safety Mediators for you and stay with you while you wait for them. Security can also be reached by calling the number listed under “Contact Security”. Finally, you can also go directly to the Security Helpdesk next to the Southern Cloakroom and ask for the Safety Mediators.
  • Use the Info Chat in the Slush App. The Info Chat in the My Slush App is monitored by our volunteers, who can connect you with the Safety Mediators if needed.
