Unique content
Just like the main event, this one-off paper packs plenty of opinion. Within the pages you'll find specially commissioned contributions from established and notable designers, and much more besides.
Sure, it contains some conference-specific info (which we think you'll find useful when you watch the forthcoming free videos), but with the contributions and other nuggets we think it's too good to be enjoyed by only 650 people.

Why are we selling these?
This small charge helps us cover the design and production of the paper, plus digital storage and distribution, postage if relevant, and the sheer expense of organising the event and paying our speakers. Plus, it's nice to share.
