Rotorua Chamber of Commerce chief executive Darrin Walsh said the Chamber helped facilitate seminars at last year's show, but this time round it had changed its focus.
He said this year it had looked at topics that would bring people in and would be of interest, such as the council's new rubbish and recycling collection programme.
"That's what drove us to change the focus of what we delivered last year, hoping to deliver topics of interest."
He said the Chamber wanted people to go away from the seminars feeling informed.
Director of Evita, Richard Marshall, will talk on Friday about what went on behind the scenes of a major production and what it took to put a show such as Evita on, Mr Walsh said.
He said the seminars with Ms Parcell from the Bay of Plenty Regional Council were to inform people of the issues driving concerns about Rotorua's air quality, what the solutions were and why rules and regulations around wood burners were coming into place.
He said Mr Quedley would be speaking about what the community could do to make neighbourhoods safe.
Mr Walsh said the Rotorua Youth Centre would be talking about its new online Youth Hub tool, which connected youth with employers.
Mr Quedley said the seminar would include looking at why people should be members of Neighbourhood Support, what the benefits were and how to join.
He said this was the second year the organisation had been involved in the show, and it was an "opportunity of meeting people who may not have had contact with Neighbourhood Support previously".
The show will be held at the Energy Events Centre from 10am to 5pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 10am till 4pm on Sunday. The cost is $5 per adult and free for under-12s.
