Fast type, slow type conference

"Fast type, slow type" is the 5th in an annual series of international design conferences, which until this year have been held at St Bride Library, the world's foremost printing and graphic arts library in Fleet Street, London. In 2006, Birmingham was chosen to host the event to coincide with the Baskerville in the City celebrations and Plus international design expo.

The original conference was born out of a desire for a UK-based typographic forum that was diverse in content, eclectic in spirit, marginal in its sympathies yet international in appeal. Each year the event has built on these aspirations, attracting a diverse range of speakers and exhibitors prepared to experiment and push the boundaries of design and letterforms. The conference attracts around 200 international delegates including design practitioners, artists, publishers, and advertisers, teachers, researchers and historians and those just starting out on their careers.
