The International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales) said it is on track for a strong 2023 after securing a number of repeat and new business wins.
The disruptions of the pandemic meant ICC Wales, next to Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, only saw its first full year of trading in 2022, having been launched in September 2019.
Repeat clients include Comic Con Wales, which welcomed more than 4,000 visitors in August last year and is set to grow in 2023 - driving a £1.7m economic impact.
