The Value of Rural Wales/Gwerth Cymru Wledig 

Join rural business leaders, policymakers, landowners, entrepreneurs and industry experts at the CLA Cymru Rural Business Conference 2027 for a positive discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing rural Wales.  

This year's conference will examine a range of key issues including the growing impact of AI and data centres on rural Wales, exploring both the opportunities for investment and skilled employment alongside concerns around energy consumption, water use and pressure on natural resources.  

Delegates will also debate whether Wales is receiving a fair return from major infrastructure and energy projects, considering what is needed to build a resilient, prosperous rural economy that competes on both the UK and global stage.  

With tourism remaining a cornerstone employer across North Wales, the conference will also address the increasing policy pressures facing the sector and consider how businesses can thrive within a rapidly changing economic and regulatory landscape. 

A thought-provoking day of debate, insight and networking that will help shape the future of rural Wales. 

"What does Wales need to prosper, not just provide?"  

Join us in Llandudno as we explore the answer.
