Cabinet Office minister says it hopes to target the business community
This year's Isle of Man Government Conference will be 'more focussed' and hopes to target the business community.
That's according to the cabinet office minister.
Around 500 people have signed up for the annual event so far.
In 2023 around 750 people attended.
It's being held on the 17 and 18 September at the Comis Hotel - moving away from the Villa Marina which has been used in previous years.
Kate Lord-Brennan has defended the decision not to host the event in the evenings, or over the weekend, saying there are other opportunities to speak to the Island's highest-ranking politicians:
