Wales, known as the land of song, is a country steeped in heritage, culture and distinctive traditions. In keeping with this, the ICC Wales is set within woodland, surrounded by fresh air and greenery.

This will enable us to build further on our Congress fringe activity which will put wellbeing and culture at the heart of the event.

You will have the opportunity to take some time out and attend to your own mental health through walking and running trails, alongside ponder pods and a living lounge within the venue and surrounding area.

We very much hope this will only enhance your experience at the Congress, although it will look a little different as it is not within a city centre.

One thing that won’t look different is the quality of the Congress programme. As ever, it will feature key opinion leaders in mental health from the social and political sphere but crucially we will also hear from those with lived experience and their families. Keep an eye out for the release of the programme which will be released soon.

There is still a chance to be a part of this amazing programme – poster abstract submissions are now open. The deadline to submit is 5pm on Friday 7 February 2025.

Read our full guidance on submitting a poster to find out more information.

We have sold out in recent years so book early to avoid disappointment and take advantage of the early bird rates which will be available until Monday 31 March 2025.

We have put together a handy guide to help you plan your trip.

We look forward to seeing you in Wales this summer!
