Conversations for Growth | Declared Candidates Only

Event Details

Chamber has been clear about what this election needs to deliver: economic growth at the heart of the next Government's priorities.

To help make that case directly, we are hosting a series of informal engagement sessions with declared General Election candidates. These sessions are designed to give candidates the opportunity to meet and have open conversations with Chamber's volunteer Board members and Forum Leads about the priorities of the Island's business community and the policies needed to support economic growth.

The first three sessions are exclusively for declared candidates and Chamber Board members and Forum Leads. The final session, on Thursday 17 September, will also be open to Chamber members, giving members the opportunity to meet and speak directly with declared candidates ahead of polling day.

We have selected a variety of dates and times to suit. Each session stands alone, so candidates are welcome to attend whichever session is most convenient.

Declared Candidates Only (with Chamber Board Members & Forum Leads)

Wednesday 29 July | 12:30 to 13:30 Wednesday 19 August | 17:00 to 18:00 Monday 7 September | 12:30 to 13:30

Open to Chamber Members & Declared Candidates

Thursday 17 September | 17:00 to 18:00

These are informal meet and greets, not hustings and not panel events. There is no stage, no seating plan and no set questions. Instead, they provide an opportunity for open, constructive conversations about what growth on the Isle of Man requires and how candidates, if elected to the House of Keys, can help deliver it.
