Business ideas and acumen melting pot
The stage is set for the Island's annual business and enterprise conference ISLEXPO 2017.
The Villa Marina is preparing to welcome around 1600 (sixteen-hundred) delegates for two days of expert panels, discussions, keynote speakers, workshops and networking.
This year's expo is focussed on how the Island can help entrepreneurs expand and develop their businesses.
The event, launched last year by the Department of Economic Development, also aims to attract off-Island firms to relocate here.
Registrations for the extended expo are well up on last year, with double the number of delegates in 2016 from off-Island.
The DED's head of Foreign Direct Investment John Garland says there's something for anyone starting or growing a business, at any level:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
