Senior political figure Lord Menzies Campbell will outline the case for remaining in Europe at an event being staged in Perth.
The European Movement in Scotland are behind the open meeting in the Gannochy Suite of the Dewars Centre on Monday May 16 but promise that people who back Brexit will be given a say.
The other key speakers are Roseanna Cunningham, MSP for Perthshire South and Kinross-shire, and Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp, founder and chief executive, Business for Scotland
Andrew Dundas will chair the meeting which starts at 2.30pm and says he is keen to ensure all members of the public get a chance to ask questions and state their points of view.
Mr Dundas is particularly keen that younger people come along to hear and take part in the debate and said he hoped it would be a “stimulating experience” with a variety of views being put forward.
Putting forward his personal views of the arguments Mr Dundas said: “Being in the EU is a critical issue for both Scotland as a whole and for Perth.
“The Scotch Whisky Association recognises both the existing and growing value of the EU markets and the huge potential there is still to be gained for our iconic brands in Europe.
“Moreover, the UK already exchanges electricity supplies with our neighbours in France and Benelux and expect to do more in the future.
“Scotland’s large and growing outputs from windfarms and other renewables relies upon trading with our neighbours.”
Mr Dundas added that the EU had helped build and strengthen relationships since the Second World War.
