2025 is a special anniversary year celebrating the development of a visual language. One hundred years ago, Otto Neurath and his team in Vienna began developing what would become ISOTYPE - short for the International System of Typographic Picture Education. The underlying principles of the ISOTYPE system still resonate in today’s visualization guidelines.

ISOTYPE Exhibition
To remember the work of Otto Neurath and his team, we will present an ISOTYPE exhibition in the convention center.

Help us to build an Isotype visualization together!
Visit the exhibition in the gallery between level 0 and 1.
When: Tuesday, Nov 4, to Friday, Nov 7

In a Otto Neurath and ISOTYPE panel on Thursday, panelists will discuss the topic “Words Divide, Pictures Unite” to revisit Otto Neurath’s ISOTYPE at 100.
When: Thursday, Nov 6, 2025 2:00pm - 3:15pm (CET)
