Outlook is the TSA’s group for adults who are mildly affected by TSC! Come along to make new friends, share experiences about TSC, and attend interesting workshops and talks.

Outlook 2025 takes place on Saturday 26 April at Trades Hall of Glasgow, 10am – 5pm. Book for free tickets here.

All adults mildly affected by TSC in the UK will receive a warm welcome at Outlook, whether it’s your first time at Outlook or you come every year. If you’re coming to Outlook for the first time, let us know and we’ll put you in touch with others who have been in the past so you can feel more comfortable.

We know that seeing all of the talks might feel daunting, but don’t worry! Everyone who attends Outlook can go at their own pace and get as involved as they want. If you’d rather take a step back, that is no problem at all.

Outlook is an event hosted by the TSA, where adults mildly affected by TSC can come together and connect. The next Outlook is taking place on Saturday 26 April 2025 at the Trades Hall of Glasgow (85 Glassford Street, Glasgow, G1 1UH)

Offering a relaxed, open and understanding environment of the impact that living with TSC can have on individuals and families, Outlook is one of the longest-running events hosted by the TSC.

At Outlook, you can be in an environment of over-18s who understand the impact that being mildly affected by Outlook can have on daily life. You can expect things like:

  • Opportunities to meet and get to know the TSC community mildly affected by TSC
  • A chance to hear about the work of the TSA and to speak to the team
  • Workshops and talks on topics that can help people mildly affected by TSC

Food, drinks, tea and coffee is provided to all attendees.

Outlook 2025 will take place on Saturday 26 April 2025 in Glasgow, at the conference venue Trades Hall of Glasgow. An agenda will be shared closer to the date with specific timings, but Outlook typically starts at 10:00am and ends at 5pm.

Trades Hall of Glasgow is well located, in the centre of Glasgow and well connected to mainline train stations and parking.

The agenda for Outlook 2025 is not yet confirmed. However, you can expect the chance to:

  • Meet other adults with TSC
  • Discuss what everyday life with TSC is like
  • Hear from TSC professionals, like researchers
  • Attend other workshops focused on TSC

There’ll also be the chance to meet the TSA team and talk to us about all of our work!

The TSA does not organise accommodation for Outlook. However, there are many hotels to suit all budgets close to the Outlook 2025 venue (Trades Hall of Glasgow). A small list of these is as follows:

Please note: The TSA does not hold any endorsements or agreements with any accommodation or hotel.

The TSA does not offer care support at Outlook. If you require a carer at Outlook, we kindly ask that your carer comes with you.

Outlook is for adults (aged 18+) who are mildly affected by TSC, but others are welcome too. This includes parents of children with TSC and carers.

If you’re coming to Outlook for the first time, let us know and we’ll put you in touch with others who have been in the past so you can feel more comfortable.

Outlook is a friendly and understanding space. You’ll be given a very warm welcome, from people who understand the impact that TSC can have on individuals and families. Whether you come to Outlook every year or if this is your first time, we’ll be delighted to have you there!

We’re always looking for ideas and advice from the TSC community on how to shape all of our events, including Outlook! If you have any suggestions, be sure to let us know by contacting support@tuberous-sclerosis.org.

There are many different carparks around Trades Hall of Glasgow. A selection of these can be found here (please note that the TSA is not responsible for any information held on Parkopedia.

For more information on parking please contact Trades Hall of Glasgow.

TSA Support Fund might be able to help. Open to anyone who lives with TSC and receives benefits, the TSA Support Fund offers small grants to people when the financial impact of TSC becomes too much – including with grants towards paying for attending Outlook.

The TSA wants all adults mildly affected by TSC to attend Outlook if they’d like to, which is one of the reasons why Outlook tickets are free. Although the TSA always tries to keep the financial impact of Outlook as low as possible, the costs associated with Outlook – including travel, accommodation and food – can quickly add up.

Outlook officially begins on Saturday 26 April 2025 at Trades Hall of Glasgow. However, an unofficial evening meal organised by Outlookers themselves will take place on the Friday evening at a local restaurant. If you’re interested in joining this unofficial meal, please email us (support@tuberous-sclerosis.org) and we’ll connect you with the meal organisers.

Please note: No TSA staff members will be on-hand before or after Outlook. The TSA holds no liability for unofficial meet-ups, organised meals or connections made as a result of the Outlook event or at any time during the weekend.

The TSA provides services like Outlook only thanks to donations. If you’re able to do so, please give to the TSA so that we can continue to be here for everyone with TSC
