"It's an important focal point for the community and we want to make sure we're maximising opportunities there. There will be a range of expert guest speakers as well as interactive displays, food vans and kids activities."
Leading industry experts from fields including urban design, property investment, landscape architecture, placemaking and destination branding will deliver presentations.
Creative director Matt Barratt will talk about branding Jimboomba at the Mustering Yard while Invest Logan director Annabelle Pegrum will discuss how to use local character to achieve economic outcomes at Jimboomba Tavern.
