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:
Working hard 'no longer enough to afford to buy a home'
Treasury writes off £340,000 in benefits overpayments in three years
Manxman to return to service following repairs
Discussions ongoing over meningitis B vaccine rollout
Health minister apologises for confusion over ambulance centre funding
