The IoD’s 2017 mid-term breakfast event next month will pick up on some of the themes arising from the IoD annual Convention last October.
A panel representing the Guernsey business community will discuss whether Guernsey is presenting itself adequately to the outside world.
IoD chair Linda Johnson said: “There was so much positivity around our Convention in 2016 and we want to build on that while also challenging ourselves to take a good hard look in the mirror and ask what our USP is and just how attractive Guernsey is to new opportunities?
“Can we make a virtue out of discretion in this transparent era? How are we viewed externally and what are our competitors doing? Are we a wallflower by comparison?”
The moderator for the mid-term event will be Guernsey Press business editor James Falla who will quiz the panellists on their views and open up the discussion to the audience.
Panellists will be Simon Davies, founder of fintech transformation consultancy the 1882 Group, Deloitte partner John Clacy, non-executive director Meriel Lenfestey, OGH Hotel General Manager Andrew Chantrell and Carey Olsen partner Tom Carey.
Time will be made for observations and questions from the audience.
The event will take place on Wednesday 5 April at St James with registration from 7.45 and a finish time of 9.45. Tickets cost £15, including breakfast, and can be booked via Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/iod-mid-term-event-is-guernsey-presenting-its-best-face-tickets-32118301705
“We are grateful to Carey Olsen for their continued support and to HSBC, our new sponsor. James Falla has done an excellent job of moderating this event in recent years and we look forward to welcoming him back in April,” Ms Johnson said.
