Former Afghanistan veteran Damien Thomlinson will headline the event, speaking at a gala dinner at the Gunnedah Town Hall on day two of the expo.
Organising team member and Gunnedah shire councillor Rob Hooke said preparations for the event on November 1-3 were coming along nicely.
“At this stage we are very pleased with how things are coming along,” Cr Hooke said.
“This is shaping up to be a gala event with exhibitor bookings flowing in.
“The three-day event will be jam-packed with activities starting with a breakfast recognising woman in the work force.”
Cr Hooke said organisers had a busy schedule of seminars planned throughout the event off the back of securing a major sponsor.
“There will be a lot of great seminars throughout the event,” he said.
“A seminar and exhibitor presentation program will run each day with topics ranging from workplace related issues; energy costs in agriculture and mental health, to name just a few.
“Our major sponsor Whitehaven Coal will be conducting tours to their Maules Creek Mine.
“There will also be tours to inspect a solar powered irrigation bore, so there is something for everyone.”
