The event will be held from March 25-27 in Hobart, Tasmania.

Organisers have confirmed that the venue will be the Wrest Point casino in Hobart’s Sandy Bay, scene of a PANPA conference in the late 1980s.

Hobart boasts one of the newest of News Limited’s print sites – with a KBA single-width press and Ferag mailroom designed to cope with the rigours of its remote location – and a museum of newspaper history attached to News’ daily title, the ‘Mercury’.

More on the SWUG conference programme to follow shortly.
