"Walesness" at ICC Wales is about embracing the natural environment and integrating wellness into events. It’s the idea of fostering a holistic and balanced experience by connecting with nature, enhancing well-being, and using the outdoors to promote productivity. ICC Wales offers a variety of initiatives, such as woodland walks, netwalking, and woodland runs, all designed to boost delegates’ physical and mental health while immersing them in the stunning Welsh landscape. It’s about creating an event experience that nurtures both people and the planet.
At ICC Wales, we embrace the principles of Wales' Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, recognising its importance in shaping a sustainable and healthy future for all.
