What is Graphic Recording?
Graphic recording (we also call it visual note-taking) is done live, so when you’re talking, we’re drawing. The result is a visual summarizing the key takeaways of your discussion. We can create one visual or many–it all depends on your event and agenda.
Graphic recording is a powerful way to transform the way organizations engage their employees, customers, and clients. We'll work with you to achieve your goals through the power of drawing.
The key to show-stopping virtual experiences
Ink Factory’s artists aren’t limited to paper and markers. We can also create virtual visual notes digitally and stream them anywhere in the world–wherever your audience is.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do with the graphic recordings as they are finished?
For in-person events, most clients display the finished visuals in a common area, gallery-style. High traffic areas are always a great place to display graphic recordings. For longer, multi-day events, our artists can connect boards to create stunning living murals. Displaying the visual notes together creates a central hub of information and ups engagement throughout your event.
What can be done with the graphic recordings after the event?
We provide you with high-resolution digital versions within two business days after the event. The digital versions are perfect for post communication with your attendees and speakers such as newsletters, white pages, and integrating into your website or blog. They may also be printed as physical mementos of the event (like on super cool plexiglass replicas, shirts, water bottles, etc). Our team will handle all of the shipping of the boards to your event. However, Ink Factory does not handle the shipping of boards post-event. After the event, they’re yours to keep and facilitate shipping.
For live events, does the artist have to be on stage?
The artist does not have to be directly on stage, but we recommend that the artist be placed in a visible area for a more engaging experience for your audience. This also ensures the artist can hear the speaker without interruption.
Do I need more than one artist?
Your project manager will work with you to find the right fit for supporting your event. They will discuss the amount of content you want to be visualized, breakout or parallel session support, and any other enhancements we can provide for your conference or event to make sure you get the most value from your artists.
