Great places for meetings
If you are looking for a venue for a business conference or meeting, then there is plenty of choice in south east Wales. The Business Quarter has picked four of the top venues in the area to focus on but a quick look on Google will point you in the direction of a whole host of others...
Newport’s University
The conference and events service at the University of Wales, Newport has many years of experience in organising, planning and delivering top-notch conference and event services for a wide range of clients. With the opening of the new City campus, the facilities available
to private and public sector clients have been greatly increased. As well as facilities for meetings and events, the City Campus
also includes the latest media equipment, sound studios and design suites. At the very heart of the City Campus, with a roof top terrace
overlooking the city, is the Wilmott Dixon Boardroom. Suitable for high level roundtable meetings for up to 24 people, or more informal receptions, the boardroom is one of the smartest and most professional meeting rooms in the city. As well as the boardroom, the range of flexible facilities across
both City and Caerleon Campuses means that the specialist events team can provide facilities for small, discreet business meetings, right up to conferences for up to 600 people. As well as providing facilities, the university also offers event
management, advice and consultancy to make any event a success. Morna Manson, Conference and Business Development
Manager at the University said: “With the City Campus now meeting the needs of even more local businesses for a wide range of events, our experience in finding the very best package for events big and small is helping to spread our reputation as one of the best services around.” For information on conference and events services at the
