Two-day event takes place at the Villa Marina next week
If the Government Conference isn't delivering a benefit, government will have to question whether it should continue.
That's from Chief Minister Alfred Cannan ahead of the second edition of the event, which was set up to give the public a chance to give feedback to government and politicians.
The two-day conference is expected to cost £30-40,000, and takes place at the Villa Marina on Wednesday and Thursday next week (20 and 21 September).
Mr Cannan hopes the event will grow:
VAT reduction on electricity extended
Some EU deliveries suspended 'until further notice'
Manx actress to return to West End in April
No word from Barclays over Island job losses in global cost cutting move
