What is the Ambassador Wales (Llysgennad Cymru) Conference Programme?

The Ambassador Wales Conference Programme is a national network leading experts who champion Wales and support the attraction and delivery of conferences and business events across the country.

At its core, the programme connects organisers with trusted experts across academia, industry and professional communities, people who bring both subject‑matter credibility and strong international networks.

Working alongside the Meet in Wales team, ambassadors help to:

  • Strengthen and shape conference bids with credible, sector‑relevant insight
  • Connect events to real expertise, research and industry networks
  • Support programme development, ensuring content is relevant and engaging
  • Build partnerships that extend beyond the event 

Rather than operating separately, ambassadors are embedded within Wales’ wider collaborative ecosystem, working alongside government, universities and industry partners to create a more joined‑up approach.

This means events in Wales are not only well supported, but they are also connected to people, knowledge and place in a way that feels seamless and meaningful for organisers and delegates alike.

 

Supporting your event in Wales

The Meet in Wales team works closely with ambassadors to support organisers at every stage:

  • identifying the right ambassador and sector connections
  • supporting bids and proposals
  • shaping programmes with meaningful content 
  • linking events to long-term opportunities and partnerships
