VisitBritain's MeetGB 2020 to Take Place in Wales

MeetGB, VisitBritain's flagship annual MICE event, will be held at the Celtic Manor Resort and the recently opened International Convention Centre (ICC) in Newport, Wales in April 2020.

MeetGB, being held from 22 to 24 April 2020, is set to host up to 90 international buyers from Europe and North America who will meet and do business with 80 industry suppliers from venues, hotels, destinations and incentive experiences across the UK.

VisitBritain Chief Executive, Sally Balcombe, said, “MeetGB has been created with global buyers in mind to highlight the breadth and quality of the UK’s business events industry. We are delighted to be bringing our flagship event to the new ICC Wales, a shining example of the high-calibre, world-class conventions, events and meetings venues the UK has to offer. MeetGB also gives UK suppliers and destinations the opportunity to promote their products on an international scale, forging valuable business relationships that will drive more international MICE events right across the country, boosting local economies.”

Ahead of the business programme at MeetGB, international buyers will attend educational visits to 11 different UK destinations as they experience first-hand the country's best conference, events and incentive products.

ICC Wales & Celtic Manor Resort Wales Chief Executive Officer, Ian Edwards, said, “With the doors opening to ICC Wales, our £83 million venue, just last month, we have already seen thousands of visitors enjoy our industry-leading facilities and nature-friendly footprint. Wellbeing and sustainability are key drivers for both ICC Wales and the Celtic Manor Resort, Wales - from our “Mind, Body, Soul” food philosophy to our recent report on how nature can be used to provide an amazing event experience. We are truly thrilled to be able to present our venues, our natural setting and our warm Welsh welcome to this hugely important international audience in 2020.”

Registration for international MICE buyers and UK business event suppliers has already opened.
