Contrast indeed! Mike Monteiro to Facilitate, Erik Spiekermann to close TYPO San Francisco

What better way to Contrast the 2012 conference than to flip the closing session on its head? We’re excited to announce that in April 2013, Mike Monteiro will take the reigns as a main stage facilitator and Erik Spiekermann will close out the conference on April 12.
