New event series for individuals who have remained, returned or relocated to the Isle of Man

Locate Isle of Man, in collaboration with PwC Isle of Man, is encouraging individuals who have remained, relocated or returned to the Island, to register for their 2025 Relocation and Young Professional Connection Events, created to help individuals to settle in, make new friends and feel part of the Isle of Man’s friendly and vibrant community.

The Relocation event series offers people an opportunity to meet others in similar situations, and start building their social and professional networks. With a range of activities, from scenic walks to wine tasting, the events are open to everyone, many of which are family friendly.

The Connection events are all about bringing young professionals together every other month, and support Locate Isle of Man’s broader aim, to attract and retain graduates and young people. Attendees are able to network in an informal setting, develop new connections and chat to like-minded people.

Many of the new events are free to attend, providing a relaxed, inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy. 

Ann Corlett MHK, Political Member for Locate Isle of Man, said:

‘Attracting and retaining skilled professionals is essential for the Isle of Man’s long-term economic success as signalled in the Economic Strategy and Island Plan. We know that relocating or returning to the Island can at times be isolating, and these events are critical in ensuring that individuals feel part of the community from day one. By offering an opportunity to meet and connect, we are helping people to build relationships, which makes the transition to island life, smoother and more enjoyable.’

Janet Donnelly, Chief People Officer from PwC Isle of Man added:

‘We are excited to sponsor the 2025 event programme. As a local employer with a diverse workforce, including new hires from international locations and early career opportunities for school & college leavers and graduates, we see the benefits these events bring to our community. We support our people in transitioning to island life and recognise the importance of building early career relationships for our young professionals. Through our sponsorship, we aim to make these events accessible to all that are interested; to connect with the local community and ensure they continue to make the Island their home.’

The Relocation and Connection event series is open to all, and registration is now available. To sign up, or to find out more about upcoming events, visit: https://www.locate.im/events
