Make Meetings Memorable

Visual Note-taking is a fantastic solution for making meetings memorable.

This week I’m sharing an image of a happy client, Sireice Edwards, of the Fondren Library at Rice University posing with her ideas that I captured at a recent library-focused event.

Why is visual note-taking a value-add?
Visual note-taking brings everyone’s ideas together in a way that is engaging, inclusive, and easy to understand at a glance. Seeing insights illustrated live helps participants feel reflected in the work and deepens their connection to the content. The finished graphic becomes a memorable keepsake from your event. Afterward, you can display the artwork at your headquarters and you’ll also receive a high-resolution digital file to share on Slack, LinkedIn, Instagram, and beyond to extend the life and impact of the conversation.

Interested in visual note-taking for your next event?
I offer custom visual note-taking for team-building events, industry conferences, interactive workshops, team meetings, and large trade shows. Email me hello@bigbrightvisuals.com for a custom quote and let’s chat!

Engagement Boards

Engagement Boards, the perfect solution for boosting audience engagement at your next event.

This week I’m sharing an image of a happy client pointing to his idea that I captured on my hand-drawn Engagement Board at a recent marketing event for Dell Technologies in Texas.

What are Engagement Boards?
Engagement Boards are a creative service I offer to make events more interactive and to give attendees a chance to directly share their voices.

How does it work?
The process is simple, easy, and collaborative. During the event, we set up a nearby table with pens and Post-it notes where Dell attendees wrote down their responses to the board’s main prompt: “What’s one insight you learned this week that will define the next era of marketing?” I then reviewed these ideas, identified key themes, and illustrated everyone’s insights together into one large, dynamic visual mural.

Why are Engagement Boards value-adds?
Engagement Boards are a powerful visual tool that brings everyone's ideas together. This interactive format also gives attendees a personal connection to the final work—just like in the image! Best of all, the finished graphic becomes a memorable keepsake from your event. Afterward, you can take your Engagement Board back to your headquarters to display as custom art, and you’ll also receive a high-resolution digital file to share online (Slack, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.) to boost engagement and educate your audiences.
