The Face/Interface 2023 event was interesting. I wasn’t there for the first iteration in 2017, but I still felt entertained to spend this second iteration with internationalization people I know & got to meet. It felt like 90% of the event was about fonts and typography, and only the remaining 10% was for keyboards/input methods, but nonetheless, I got to learn quite a few things about the field. More importantly, it was a chance to meet people in a related discipline who also care about better supporting languages/scripts/people around the world who need it the most, even though it requires volunteer effort in their free time to achieve. Making connections with people was one of the best things I have taken away from the event, including people to collaborate with on interesting followup work that can help even more people.
