Accessibility & Inclusion

SQLBits 2026 will be held at the ICC Wales, where we take over the whole venue for the duration of the event.  

Access

You can read about the facilities and accessibility information at the ICC here.

Bathrooms

There is a mix of single sex and accessible unisex bathrooms at the ICC. The bathrooms on the ground floor near meeting room 7 have also been designated as unisex.

We are committed to making sure everyone feels comfortable at SQLBits, wherever they go on site.  A reminder of the code of conduct that all attendees have agreed to in order to attend SQLBits can be found here and should be followed at all times. We welcome everyone, regardless of background, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender and nationality. If you have any concerns about anyone’s behaviour at SQLBits, please report it to one of the team on the help desk so we can investigate and take action.

Catering

In terms of dietary requirements, we ask about these at registration, so make sure to let us know then about your needs when you book. If you have any questions, just drop us a line on contactus@sqlbits.com.

Childcare

We have had childcare at SQLBits for the last few years, provided on site and completely free, courtesy of professional childcare partners. If you need childcare for SQLBits 2026, or have questions about the options, drop us a line on contactus@sqlbits.com.

Prayer Room

SQLBits has a multifaith prayer room which welcomes those from all cultures and religions who would like a quiet place to worship. This will be accessible during opening hours and is indicated on the floor plan.

Quiet Spaces

SQLBits will take over the whole of the ICC, meaning lots of quiet corners to escape to to take a minute to reset. Why not check out the Ponder Pods in the woodland, just a short walk from the main building, the perfect place to unwind.

Transport

We’ll be providing transport from Newport Train Station to SQLBits on a daily basis as well as our partner hotels including the Celtic Manor Resort – more about the accessibility information on this transport when we have it.

Questions and Contact

If you have any specific questions, our FAQs are also a good place to stop by. We do everything we can to enable everyone to enjoy the event equally and without barriers; if we’ve missed something, please email us at contactus@sqlbits.com and we’ll get right on it.
