The short answer:
I'll take illustrated notes while you talk. It's fun to watch, and you get to keep the work when it's done!! A better answer: Graphic recording is an innovative way of creating interest and engagement at just about any kind of event. It caters to different learning approaches, and fosters creative and often unexpected feedback and collaborations. The visual record creates a "collective memory" of the event and promotes validation among project participants. Details from the graphic recording can also give life to the material long after the event. The images can be used to make print and web documents more vivid and accessible. |
And an even better answer (which I am copying from the International Forum of Visual Practitioners website), describing the benefits of graphic recording at an event:
I'm putting together a little photo gallery where you can see some of the graphic recording I've been doing. And I've posted quite a few pictures on my blog, which you can see here.
You can find out more about me and my Calgary-based practice here. Or, please contact me and I will be sure to get in touch with you.

- Collects key information without invasive questioning or interruption
- Expands retention and understanding of key themes and main ideas
- Increases the ROI for speakers & presenters (documents their crucial points)
- Builds a graphic summary that leaders can use to summarize/interact with
- Equips participants with a unique "takeaway" of their experience (paper and/or digital)
- Makes for easy sharing and communication of the 'Gestalt' of the event
