‘The third annual Government Conference will provide the chance for Government to update on and discuss topics focused on our economic challenges.  The 2024 agenda is designed to provide deeper insights and foster meaningful conversations on key topics central to this theme.

‘Whilst the focus for the conference this year is on business and the economy, the Council of Ministers have committed to holding “Listening to You” roadshow events across the Island again in spring 2025. These combined initiatives will give the community opportunities to engage directly with Ministers, fostering open communication and engagement on critical areas of government policy and performance.’
