The Conference will feature a range of presentations and panel Q&A sessions, including topics on island security, biosphere, migration and housing.

Alfred Cannan MHK, Chief Minister commented:

‘Our commitment to community engagement has played a key role in this administration, providing the opportunity for myself and Ministers to engage on key topics and issues facing both residents and businesses. The ‘Listening to You’ events offered the chance for members of the public to engage directly through one-to-one conversations while the Conference ensures Government can present on strategic updates which impact the business community.

‘This year’s Conference, the fourth and final of this administration, will cover a range of topics including public service efficiencies, government finances and the economy, education update, healthcare delivery and connectivity to name a few. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from and engage in meaningful conversations with Ministers, guest speakers on our strategic priorities and I encourage all those in the business community and the general public to register for the event.’
