Reference excerpt

The International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales) (Welsh: Canolfan Gynadledda Rhyngwladol Cymru) is a 5,000-capacity venue in the city of Newport, Wales. The venue has a main auditorium with fixed seating for 1,500 delegates, six rooms of exhibition space, and 43,000 sq ft (4,000 m2) of pillar-free space. ICC Wales is located on the Celtic Manor Resort site which hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup and 2014 NATO summit. The venue is a public/private enterprise with Welsh Government providing £22.5m grant funding and taking a 50/50 share of ownership with Celtic Manor.

History

The construction work, which was carried out by Sisk Group, began in 2017 and the facility opened its doors for the first time on the 14 September 2019. It was officially opened 24 September 2019.

Floor space The venue totals 26,000 square metres and has a stated delegate capacity of over 5,000. The main hall is approximately 4,000 sq metres and also has a 1,500 seated auditorium. The outdoor plaza is 2,500 sq metres.

Transport The venue is served by an hourly bus service from Newport railway station and Newport bus station, with a journey time of 25 minutes from the city centre to the venue door. The service runs between 6.25am and 6.35pm every hour at ten to the hour drop off and ten past the hour pickup. It is four miles east of Newport city centre and the major road access is M4 motorway junction 24, then B4237 Chepstow Road. The site is equidistant from both Bristol Airport and Cardiff Airport (31 miles).

Events

The first event held at the centre was the annual three-day Association of Stoma Care Nurses UK 2019 conference. On 18 September 2019, the venue hosted the "An Experience With" series, where Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke to an audience. On 20 September the UK Independence Party held its annual party conference at the venue. The venue held the first BBC Cymru Wales Live debate on 22 September, which is a new Question Time style debate show focusing on Welsh issues. This was shortly followed by the inaugural UK Space Conference from 24 to 26 September, whose headline speaker was astronaut Tim Peake. The venue hosted the WaterSource 19 conference on 1 October led by Welsh Water. This was followed by the Green Party of England and Wales national conference on 4 October. The venue was used for the Welsh Open snooker events in 2021 and 2022. In August 2022, Comic Con Wales (not Wales Comic Con) was hosted at the venue, organised by Monopoly Events. With another scheduled for August 2023.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with International Convention Centre Wales

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what International Convention Centre Wales claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to International Convention Centre Wales before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about International Convention Centre Wales ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of International Convention Centre Wales

In research: International Convention Centre Wales appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses International Convention Centre Wales in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: International Convention Centre Wales is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2019 establishments in Wales, Buildings and structures completed in 2019, Buildings and structures in Newport, Wales, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for International Convention Centre Wales outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
