Visual minutes is a live, illustrated record of conferences, events, meetings and debates. It is the art of listening and capturing words in a dynamic, creative and exciting way. The minutes unfold live during the event and the information is brought to life with illustrations and colour.

It is Key Note listening, pulling out the key themes, messages, and imagery. It is a way of making information digestible.
Trained in this art by visionary Tim Casswell from Creative Connection.
