The symposium concerns all aspects of text but has an emphasis on interactive text. Day one features short presentations by leading experts in the field, with day two focusing on collaborative approaches to re-invent hypertext, text in general, and academic documents for academia.

Speakers include co-inventor of the Internet, Vint Cerf, Professor Dame Wendy Hall, Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Mark BernsteinBjørn Borud, and Doc Searls. Vint Cerf says:

I have participated in the Future of Text events and find them thought-provoking and poignant reminders that text is how we communicate with the future.
