WHAT IS GRAPHIC RECORDING?
Live Graphic Recording
Graphic recording is the practice of visually capturing spoken ideas—conversations, presentations, panels, or discussions—as live drawings using simple words and images.
Ink Factory provides professional graphic recording services for conferences, meetings, and corporate events, giving audiences a clear, memorable visual summary they can reference long after the event ends.

Graphic Recording FAQs
What is graphic recording?
Graphic recording is what happens when a live artist turns your meeting, keynote, or strategy session into a drawing—in real time, on the spot. As you talk, we're capturing the big ideas in words and pictures, so instead of walking away with a stack of notes nobody rereads, your audience leaves with a visual they'll actually look at again.
Is graphic recording different from visual notes?
Graphic recording and visual note-taking are the same process of listening, synthesizing, and drawing live. We prefer to use the term "visual note-taking" because it's more self explanatory for people who have never experienced it before.
Who uses graphic recording?
Graphic recording is for anyone who wants their ideas to make an impact. From event planners, CEOs, marketing professionals, professional associations and more, graphic recording helps audiences better understand and retain information so they're ready to take action long after an event ends.
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 great places to display graphic recordings. For longer, multi-day events, our artists can connect boards to create stunning engagement murals. Displaying the visual notes together creates a central hub of information and ups engagement throughout your event. Attendees also love to know how they can access the visuals after the event ends, so sharing that information with them throughout the day can build excitement and engagement.
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. We don't recommend placing the artist in the back of the room, as that may encourage people to turn around and look away from the stage.
Do I need more than one artist?
The more artists at your event, the more we can do for you. 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.
How much does graphic recording cost?
The cost of our services varies greatly depending on where your event is located, how long it is, if you opt for digital or in-person services, how many artists you'll need, and more. We work with each of our clients to create a custom proposal based on their needs and how we can best meet their goals within their budget.
