A conference by designers for designers. With 1500 participants each year, it has been the largest graphic design conference in Europe for 19 years.
Legendary notes from previous years
We printed with Erik Spiekermann and cycled with him through London and Berlin. In 2008, a real eagle flew through the TYPO hall, which was as exciting for us as for the participants.
Each year has its high spots: Performances, concerts or live painting events. Just wait and see what we have planned for TYPO Berlin 2015.
