ICC Wales has been awarded for its work in educating the global events sector on the incoming Protect Duty (Martyn’s Law).
ICC Wales was announced the winner of the Best Marketing Award at the annual congress of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) in Krakow, Poland, last week.
The ICCA Best Marketing Award recognises the “excellence and outstanding achievements” of organisations in their effort to mark their destination or product.

As the second UK conference venue to win in the 25-year history of the award, ICC Wales secured the title for its work in creating educational resources including its Protect Duty report, delivering informative sessions at industry trade shows and launching the Protect Duty Events Industry Group.
Ian Edwards, CEO, ICC Wales, said: “Securing the ICCA Best Marketing Award is a testament to the dedication of the team in educating not only the UK’s events sector but the global industry on this very important legislation.”
Protect Duty campaigner Figen Murray OBE, added: “I’m delighted that the team at ICC Wales has received this recognition for the important work they have been doing to galvanise the meetings industry’s response to the Protect Duty.
“I am also grateful to the ICCA community for providing a platform at its annual congress to extend this crucial message to a wider audience. The Protect Duty may be UK legislation, but this is a global objective – to mitigate the risks at our event venues, so that the people attending can go home safely at night.”
