Two-day event gets underway at Comis Hotel
Alfred Cannan has been addressing attendees at the Comis Hotel as the two-day event gets underway.

Earlier this month it was revealed that Manx Care is expecting to exceed its budget by £16.8million.
"I think government probably did not get its message right, it was always about growing the working population." - Chief Minister Alfred Cannan
Mr Cannan also addressed those targets to boost the Island's population to 100,000 by 2037:
Airport Director Gary Cobb and Isle of Man Steam Packet Managing Director Brian Thomson are due to give presentations later this morning regarding connectivity.
