It will also look at developing Lanarkshire's priorities for the new Community Led Local Development (CLLD) fund, aligning with the aims of the national programme.
Chair of South Lanarkshire Council's Community and Enterprise Resources Committee, Councillor Robert Brown, said: "Developing future opportunities for our rural communities in South Lanarkshire is particularly important just now.
"We would like as many people as possible who have an interest in the vitality and wellbeing of our rural towns and villages to come along to this event.
"It will allow local people and local organisations to influence and inform policy and activity that affects the people who live and work in rural Lanarkshire."
