Few design conferences have a history as long and esteemed as Typo. Started twenty years ago by a group of type lovers including Neville Brody and Erik Spiekermann, the festival now takes in typography, graphic design and the creative industries more widely, with speakers this year even including furniture designer Konstantin Grcic and photographer Daniel Josefsohn. To say that we're excited about what the festival has in store this year is a dramatic understatement.

To celebrate its big birthday, Typo has kindly given us two tickets to this years festival (worth €649). To be in with a chance of getting your hands on one, send an email with ‘Typo’ in the subject line to giveaway@grafik.net, telling us which US city also host a Typo conference. Deadline is 15 May 2015, and you might want to have a look for the answer here.
