ATypI is pleased to say that this week we have started publishing videos of all the presentations from ATypI 2026 on YouTube. We hope all those who missed the conference, or who missed talks while at the conference, will enjoy catching up with the diverse and stimulating research, scholarship and experimentation that was presented.

The remaining videos will be published in the coming days to the ATypI 2026 Stanford playlist.

ATypI thanks Romi Chiorean and Tamsin Orion from Stanford University for both recording and editing the videos with speed and efficiency.

We extend our sincere thanks to all speakers for their contributions and permission to publish. We encourage you to share the talks on social media: tag ATypI (ATypI and ATypI Community on Instagram, ATypI on LinkedIn), and we will be glad to amplify your posts.

We welcome your thoughts, questions, critiques, and continued discussion in the YouTube comments.

We invite you to join us at ATypI 2026 Sharjah to attend numerous similarly diverse presentations, participate in workshops and tours, and develop fruitful relationships with colleagues in the field.
