New Zealand printers look forward to SWUG conference

NZ print industry gets ready for its tenth annual SWUG conference in October.

Held immediately after the Print NZ conference for 2010 in Taupo, the theme of this year’s conference is ‘Where to from here? Looking forward, future technology.'

According to Dan Blackbourn, numbers are likely to be strong. “We are anticipating a larger number than the previous year’s SWUG attendance with over 120 suppliers and member attending the last one,” he said.

He believes that the diverse content on offer will make it appealing for those in the industry. “The highlight of this conference will be the range of speakers, speaking on a number of topics from business and economic overview to technology changes in the pre-press, press and post press areas. There will also be speakers on environment issues affecting the print industry,” he said.

The conference will feature presentations on UV printing; heatset/coldest inline printing; press upgrades; chemical-free plate technology; post-press equipment, along with other presentations on new developments in the print industry by those involved in the industry, including suppliers. The event will also feature the SWUG awards for printing excellence.
