GRAPHIC RECORDING
The story of your event captured in real time
Imagine watching a mural-sized info-graphic appear before your eyes as you attend a talk, conference, corporate retreat or team building event. Graphic Recording mesmerizes viewers and brings your content to life in colorful words and pictures that are visible, tangible, actionable and unforgettable!
Let’s face it, while your speakers worked really hard on their presentations, your participants will only remember a fraction of what they hear from the podium. Graphic Recording gives them a high-level visual touchstone of the major themes, ideas, and messages– one that they feel “ownership” of because they were there when it happened– and one they can’t wait to share–internally with peers/reports or externally on social media
So Much More than Just Pretty Pictures…
Curating your Content
Capturing Key Themes
Sparking Rich Memories
We organize and “essence-ize” what we record, so the content on the boards at the end of the session is just right– enough to spark rich memories and curiosity, not overwhelm.
The Power of Metaphor
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a metaphor is worth a million. In our experience the charts with the most lasting impact–both during and after the event– have a primary visual metaphor embedded in their design from the beginning. We work with you before your event to align visual themes and metaphors with the “secret mission” of your event, so your desired outcome is communicated on many levels–both literally and figuratively.
Our Specialty
We are passionate about the power of human potential– our individual and collective ability to transform into our best selves. We partner with visionary leaders, facilitators and event planners to inspire, support and catalyze learning and meaningful change in individuals, teams, organizations.
We love to cultivate long-term relationships with leaders, facilitators, planners and attendees, contributing to their personal and professional evolution over time. Our favorite type of engagement? We light up when we get to support groups who are inventing their future together right there in the room!

What’s the best way use the Graphic Recordings during the event?
Create “buzz” by inviting participants to share the boards via social media with #hashtags conveniently listed on charts themselves.
Deepen the learning by incorporating a “gallery walk” into the design of your event, for integration and reflection at the end of the day or the beginning of the next day.
Get media exposure by inviting the press (or your internal photographers) to photograph and/or interview speakers in front of the completed charts. They make for much better visuals than just talking heads behind a podium!
What should we do with the full-size graphic recordings after the event?
- Continue the conversation long after the meeting is over by displaying the boards in your office foyer or conference room or break area.
- Raise scholarship money by raffling them off in a silent auction.
- Delight your speakers by giving them as gifts to the presenters.
How can we best use the digital chart images after the event?
- Stand out by printing branded Mini-posters as event takeaways
- Reconnect with your participants through a post-event email
- Create thoughtful follow-up gifts like thank you cards or other printed products
- Spread the message throughout your organization with Visual Meeting Reports
- Promote your next event with the engaging visuals that pique people’s curiosity
- Communicate internally and externally as newsletter and press release additions
- Attract attention on social media by using the charts (or people in front of charts) as unique social media headers
