On sale nowFrom $95900 seats · sold out in nine days last year
There is no VIP tier, no front-row upgrade and no speaker dinner you can buy your way into. Every ticket is the same ticket, and the seats are unreserved because the good conversations happen when you sit next to a stranger.
Prices in USD, tax included. Invoices, purchase orders and payment plans are all available at checkout.
Both days, all eighteen talks, lunch and coffee on site, the printed programme, and the after-party at the Fillmore.
Everything in Early bird, at the price it actually costs us to put nine hundred people in a theatre for two days.
Everything above, plus one Thursday workshop: half a day on type design, editorial systems, or photographing your own work.
The same ticket as everyone else, for students, the unwaged, and anyone for whom the full price is the reason they are not coming.
Stalls or balcony, first come. Twelve wheelchair spaces are reserved and bookable in advance.
Hot food both days in the circle bar, plus coffee from a person rather than a machine.
Letterpressed in Detroit, ninety-six pages, worth keeping. One per attendee.
The after-party at the Fillmore, two doors down. Two drinks on us, then a fair bar.
Fifteen per cent off from four tickets, twenty-five from ten. One invoice, one purchase order, names filled in later — we know you do not know yet who is coming.
[email protected]Write us two or three sentences about who you are. We do not ask for a student card, a payslip or a letter from anyone. They are gone by March, so write early rather than well.
Apply for a supported ticketYes — three payments, no interest, no credit check, chosen at checkout. Your seat is held from the first payment.
No. Seating is unreserved and the room is small enough that there is no bad one. Accessible seating is the exception and is booked in advance.
If you want to make something with your hands for half a day alongside twenty other people, yes. If you mostly want the talks, no — buy the standard ticket and spend the difference on the hotel.
Full refund on sight of the refusal, at any point, including the week before. We will also write you an invitation letter within two working days of asking.
Yes, and it moves — about forty tickets come back each year. Join it even if it looks long.
A two-day conference for people who make things and then have to explain them. Held at the Ambassador Theatre, 2110 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, Michigan.
