Graphic Note Taking for Events That Matter

When you're delivering an event packed with insights — from panel discussions to keynote talks — it can be hard for participants to retain all the important details. That’s where graphic note taking becomes a game-changer.

Graphic note taking is the process of listening carefully to speakers and translating the key messages into real-time illustrated notes. These are usually created on a large scale — on boards or digital tablets — and displayed live at your event or shared digitally afterwards. It’s especially valuable in conferences, training days, and strategy workshops where attention, retention, and engagement matter.

Organisations in education, health, and the charity sector often choose visual scribes to:

• Record participant voices in consultations

• Create illustrated summaries of long-form talks

• Make policy-heavy content more engaging

• Support neurodiverse learners or attendees

  
  

Graphic note taking makes ideas more visible, helping people make meaning — and remember it.
