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:
General Election candidate charged with harassment
Manxman parts being repaired in Denmark
"We're watching you" warning for OCGs trafficking drugs to Island
Airport warns of possible disruption due to low cloud
