The TYPO conference organisation is pleased to announce that TYPO London is opening in London in October 2011. TYPO conferences are international design events hosted by FontShop in Germany. TYPO Berlin has been one of Europe’s most successful design conferences since 1995, featuring a who’s who of the biggest names in design with appearances from an amazing array of creative talent from Adrian Frutiger to Günter Gerhard Lange and Gerard Unger talking type; to Wim Crouwel, Tibor Kalman and Javier Mariscal speaking on design; to Ian Anderson, Neville Brody and David Carson exploring new visual langauges. So strictly speaking TYPO London is not really a new conference, especially when considering that the TYPO conferences originated from FontShop’s FUSE conferences that ran in London in 1994 and Berlin in 1995.
Each conference is dedicated to a different theme. Previous years’ presentations can be viewed on the TYPO Videoblog. The theme for this year’s TYPO London 2011 is “Places”, and the TYPO London team is inviting a broad selection of speakers and presentations from architects, urban planners, information designers, graphic designers, and brand agencies, to digital designers, UX professionals, and interaction designers. There will also be speakers from the film industry, and keynotes will vary from the physical to the metaphorical understanding of “Places”.. read more
