Chris Corlett, Chief Executive at the Department of Economic Development (DED), will address CIM members and guests at an event in the Isle of Man on 18 October.

He will be talking about Vision 2020, which was co-developed by the Isle of Man Government and the private sector to give a clear vision for the Island’s economy, particularly its vital export sectors.

Richard Slee, Chair of CIM Isle of Man, said, “This is a valuable opportunity for anyone involved in marketing in the Isle of Man to hear Chris talk about this important project from a marketer’s perspective, including how well the implementation plans are performing.” He continued, “The Isle of Man faces a number of challenges in the coming years if it is to deliver Vision 2020 and remain a successful, diverse economy, such as how it will deal with the UK’s exit from the EU and attracting talent. This is therefore an ideal time for the Isle of Man’s marketers and broader business community to hear how DED plans to tackle these challenges.”

The event, titled ‘Vision 2020’, will be held at the Claremont Hotel at 17:30 and is open to CIM members and non-members.
