Meet in Wales is set to share insight into one of the destination’s emerging industrial sectors when it arrives at IBTM World in Barcelona later this month (29 November-1 December). The team will use the international forum to bring to light the destination’s affinity with some of the most important growth industries around the world, but specifically within the semiconductor industry.
As part of the event, Meet in Wales will present Nick Fagan, creative technologist at agency DRPG, and entrepreneur Jason Allan Scott, who will talk about semiconductors and their influence on the technological landscape of business, including events. Semiconductors are a major global opportunity, and one that Wales is leading on, boasting some of the most forward-thinking businesses and research centres on the planet.
In recent years Wales has transformed its business landscape, having evolved to concentrate on industrial and service-based activities, from technology to Fin Tech, renewables to creativity. The destination sees events as a key driver of this economic growth.
Wales has recently broadened its Ambassador Wales Conference Programme, which provides a network of influential private individuals from fields such as academia, medical and business and Heledd Williams, head of Business Events at Meet in Wales, says she is delighted to bring knowledge from within Wales’ centres of industrial excellence into IBTM, and to add value to the meetings and events industry. “We’re looking forward to connecting with our peers and customers around the world and presenting just one more reason why Wales continues to be an excellent choice for events,” she says.
At IBTM Meet in Wales will also be showcasing some of the destination’s key business event specialists, including; Celtic Manor Resort, ICC Wales, Voco St David’s Hotel, Meet in Cardiff, Meet North Wales, Orchard Media and Events, Principality Stadium, Seren Events PCO, Vale Resort & Hensol Castle, and Venue Cymru.
