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:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
