A connected destination
With a wide range of venues including state of the art conference centres, heritage venues, stadia and academic venues – Wales can offer a home for conferences and conventions of all types with capacities of up to 5,000 delegates.
Whether you are planning for an international or national delegation, Wales’ venues are well connected, with the new ICC Wales, set in ancient woodland and with walkable accommodation of nearly 700 rooms, easily accessible from multiple points in the UK or to international travellers through Cardiff Airport. In the north of the country, newly refurbished Venue Cymru offers a conference venue with a sea view and boasts state of the art production and is easily reached from the North West of England – including Manchester and Liverpool airports. A wealth of walkable, quality accommodation is offered at a range of price points in the Victorian seaside town.
A destination for wellbeing
Delegates will value the opportunity to meet in Wales, our venues are never far from fresh air, stunning country side and coastline and the warmth of the welcome. Attention to detail and high service levels will be appreciated.
The opportunity to enjoy the rich out of conference offering will also be a draw for delegates, as well as the chance to enjoy a destination that may be new and breaks the routine of the same old spaces.
