The Type Directors Club (TDC) announced the launch of Type Drives Communities, a global conference that will explore the ways typography is used to form and transform creative communities.
Taking place online on May 7-8, 2021, the conference includes two half-days of talks, presentations and group discussion spanning a broad range of design disciplines, and both local and global communities. Early-bird registration for reduced-price tickets is available through April 12, 2021.
Sessions will highlight communities that use typography to pursue a common purpose, establish intergenerational connections, and spark and sustain change. Discussions will also encompass what these strategies suggest about how designers might navigate the challenges of our present moment of physical distance and virtual connection.
