How can I connect with other attendees while at TYPO Contrast?

TYPO is a great networking opportunity for design professionals and students alike. There are a number of chances to mingle with other attendees:

FontShop Lounge: Located in the Grand Lobby of the Galleries & Forum building will be an interactive space hosted by FontShop. Attendees will get the chance to browse the Fontbook on iPads, peruse through copies of FontFont’s Slang Map, and make your own buttons!

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Exhibitions: During the conference, all of YBCA’s galleries will be open and free to conference attendees. Guests are invited to walk through the exhibits and installations. Perhaps you’ll find notes of contrasts in the artwork! For exhibit information check out: http://www.ybca.org/calendar

Lunch break: Lunch will not be provided at the conference. Attendees are invited to explore the many food spots around YBCA. This will be a great chance to taste some SF eats while meeting new faces. Stay tuned to our blog for some recommendations. You’ll have an hour between 12-1 p.m. each day for lunch, no presentations will happen during this time.

Coffee breaks: We’ll host complimentary coffee, tea, and snacks from 4-5 p.m. during both days of the conference. Located in the Theater Terrace, attendees will have the chance to mix and mingle in between speaker sessions.

TYPO Afterparty: After 2 days of WOW, the party isn’t over! Speakers and attendees are invited for Zendesk-sponsored drinks and dancing at Public Works (161 Erie St.) starting at 7 p.m. Food will be available for purchase. Bring your badge before 10 p.m. to get in. After 10, the event will be open to the public, but TYPO attendees are welcome to stay for free. *21+ event

Can I bring a friend to the afterparty?
The TYPO After Party is for conference attendees only. You must have your badge for admittance. The venue will  open to the public after 10 p.m. and your friends may join you then. All badge holders must arrive by 10 for free admittance.

I’m not 21. Can I attend the afterparty?
Public Works is a 21+ venue. Stay tuned to the blog for suggestions of other events in San Francisco on April 12.

I want to attend two sessions but they’re schedule at the same time! Will recordings of the talks be available after the conference?
Yes, most Theater and Forum talks will be recorded and uploaded to the TYPO Video Blog in the weeks following the conclusion of the event.

I am press and would like to cover the conference. Can I get a free pass?
