ICC Wales attracts major events

International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales) has secured a number of repeat business wins for 2023. Repeat clients include Comic Con Wales, which welcomed more than 4,000 visitors in August and is set to grow in 2023, driving £1.7m (USD$2.07m) in economic impact. Other events returning in the new year include Howdens and their Golden Rooster Awards; James Murden’s ‘Audience With’ events; the National Farm Attractions Network’s (NFAN) trade exhibition show; and the Church in Wales Governing Body. University of South Wales (USW) has also contracted five days of Graduation Ceremonies each year from 2023 until 2028. Last year, ICC Wales hosted 33 of USW’s Graduation Ceremonies that had been postponed from the pandemic, welcoming more than 16,500 graduates into the University’s alumni. The Open University will also hold its Autumn 2023 Graduation Ceremony at the venue. Danielle Bounds, sales director, ICC Wales commented: “The fact we have secured such a strong level of repeat business, as well as some major new clients for 2023, is a testament to the quality of our facilities, the dedication and enthusiasm of our team, and the calibre of the events that we deliver.”
