What should I bring with me to the conference?

In addition to a smile and an openness to being inspired, for registration please bring your ID and a print out or mobile screen version of the Eventbrite ticket. Attendees are also encouraged to bring a notebook or a laptop/tablet for jotting down notes and ideas. Please also feel free to bring business cards or your creative interpretation of them for networking.

This is my first TYPO San Francisco. What should I expect?
Included in your conference fee is admission to all sessions during the two days of the conference (first come, first served on seating in smaller rooms) and admission to the TYPO After Party  on Friday evening at Public Works.

TYPO is two days filled with inspirational talks from well-known as well as up-and-coming designers. The conference covers more than just typography –  it’s design, culture, society with a little bit of kerning.  Check out coverage from last year’s TYPO Connect for a feel of the event..
