Where will Cenex Expo 2026 take place?

Cenex Expo will take place at the ICC Wales in Newport on the 22nd and 23rd September 2026.

Why have you moved to Wales?

ICC Wales is a world class event venue for our exhibitors and visitors, bringing a fresh energy to the event. The relocation expands the event’s reach while continuing to unite UK and international innovation communities.

Wales offers a new setting that fosters growth and deeper engagement with regional innovation clusters. The Welsh Government invests in low-carbon innovations, skills development, and advanced technologies such as semiconductors and cybersecurity, creating a fitting background for the next chapter of Cenex Expo.

Will the event be the same format as previous years?

Yes, the event will still take place across two days featuring a technology exhibition, extensive seminar programme and networking opportunities.

What are the differences at the new venue?

The new venue is a purpose-built event venue offering a variety of different private meeting and seminar areas.

Parking will be located in an underground car park, with overflow car parks a short walk from the venue.

Will the new location be permanent, or just for this year?

We are currently reviewing our longer-term plans and will assess future venue arrangements after this event.

Is the new venue sustainable?

Surrounded by 230 acres of woodland, the venue is passionate about their sustainability movement. ICC Wales divert 100% of their waste from landfills, offer hydration stations throughout the venue and support EV guests with charging stations.
