We’ve been putting the finishing touches on this year’s conference program and are very excited to share a preview of what to expect this summer in Seattle.
From August 24th through 28th, some of the brightest and most influential names in type and design will be descending upon the Town on the Sound for TypeCon2016.
Along with a jam-packed main program, other events include the Type & Design Education Forum, the keynote presentation by Lance Wyman, the always popular Type Quiz hosted by Allan Haley, the SOTA Silent Auction, plus several international type exhibitions. Workshops, presentations, panel discussions, networking events, tours, and other social gatherings will round out almost a full week’s worth of typographic adventures and inspiration.
