After St. Petersburg
ATypI’s 2008 annual conference in St Petersburg was a remarkable success writes ATypI President John D. Berry. Official attendance was 314, well in line with our recent conferences, with a large “local” contingent from Russia. (I put “local” in quotation marks because some of them came from as far away as central Siberia, more than 3000 kilometers distant.)
