Ian Edwards Conference Centre at the Celtic Manor Resort

From shaping team rooms for the competing golfers at the 2010 Ryder Cup to helping create the 2014 NATO Wales Summit debating chamber, Ian oversaw some incredible event activity in the venue and it is entirely fitting that his name now welcomes guests to the Ian Edwards Conference Centre.

The three-storey conference centre includes a versatile Exhibition Hall, the Caernarfon Ballroom that can hold up to 1,200 people, and an additional 24 syndicate and meeting rooms with breakout areas.

The new name was officially announced at a Celebration of Ian Edwards event held at the conference centre on Friday 22nd November, when more than 300 people heard tributes from family members and colleagues as well as video messages from First Minister of Wales, Eluned Morgan MS, and Celtic Manor Resort Chairman, Sir Terry Matthews.

A wall plaque dedicated to Ian’s memory and celebrating his visionary leadership was unveiled by his wife, Estelle Edwards, and Simon Gibson CBE, Director of the Celtic Manor Resort.
