The third ISLEXPO is taking place at the Villa Marina today (Wed 16th)
The theme is "Exploring the Isle of Man as a Unique Business Location".
A series of workshops and keynote speeches will take place in the hope of attracting business to either relocate or establish on the Island.
It is also hoped to attract entrepreneurs to base their activities here.
Last night, a pre-event Founder's Feast took place with the focus on locally sourced food.
