The conference includes keynote deliveries from international grandmasters, as well as academic presentations that have been selected through a blind jury process. The event attracts industry professionals, academics, research scholars, as well as a large turnout of students. The event includes an exhibition of posters that have been selected from an international competition with participation from upwards of fifty countries. There are typographic works of students and faculty members from Design Institutes from around the country. Not to mention interactive and non-interactive installations, language scrolls, block printing, murals, and typography made with food.
