Conference convenor George Truman said the event would feature a panel of producers who would "discuss how they are managing the drought and the opportunities to take advantage of".
"Despite the ongoing dry conditions producers are always looking for ways to maximise pasture production and maintain sustainable pastures," Mr Truman said.
"The conference includes presentations by producers who will share their experiences with a panel of landholders ... which allows attendees to ask questions of the panel."
Session and presentation topics include climate change, livestock production systems and livestock nutrition as well as livestock and plant genetics.
Mr Truman said there would also be bus trips and farm tours on the agenda, as well as the option to network at the conference dinner.
"The field tours are always a highlight, with a range of sites being visited east and west of Gunnedah," Mr Truman said.
"The tours give people the opportunity to see our northern pasture systems and hear from landholders [and] offer a great opportunity for networking."
Discounted early bird tickets are now on sale for the event via the Grassland NSW website.
