Cardiff Castle
The conference dinner is the perfect opportunity for our attendees to continue discussions in a relaxed setting, following a full day of conference on Thursday 11 May.
The 2023 dinner will be held in the heart of the city, in the Victorian Banqueting Hall of Cardiff Castle, one of Wales’ leading heritage attractions and a site of international significance, with a story 2,000 years in the making! From the Roman occupation of Britain to the Norman Conquest, through civil war turbulence, a Victorian transformation and even the terrors of World War 2, this Castle’s walls have seen it all, including the 2014 NATO summit dinner, which welcomed over 60 Heads of State including US President Barack Obama.
