Budding restaurateurs, designers on the rise and aspiring moguls would be wise to take note – The Locals Panel Series is putting the microphone in front of Brisbane’s best and brightest, and encouraging them to dispense their wisdom for us all to devour. In partnership with West Village, The Weekend Edition is helping draw together several notable industry experts across food, design and fashion to spill the beans on industry life and growth.

Part two of The Locals Panel Series will take place on Wednesday June 19, where four esteemed members of Brisbane’s diverse design landscape will assemble to discuss the hurdles and pitfalls inherent in breaking into the world of design, and offer their thoughts on how to best set oneself apart in the scene and build a loyal following from the ground up. Kylie Johnson of Paper Boat Press ceramic studio, self-employed Brisbane-based creative Bonnie Hislop and Ashleigh Keily of James Street’s Arc + Family and picture-perfect urban oasis el’ rosa will be helmed by the amazing Tia Queen of Gangplank. These four creative powerhouses will dazzle the audience with their wit, wisdom and insight into our city’s unique design landscape.

Ticket price includes a glass of champagne and snack on arrival.
