Graphic Recording Pricing

Event rates for Live Scribing / Graphic Recording currently range from £700 to £2200

The cost will vary depending on many factors, such as the number of sessions to capture, whether the event is remote or in-person, and if it's to be captured in real-time or from a recording

​ Virtual Graphic Recording can cut costs significantly compared to in-person, as we can skip all the costs associated with travelling to the event (especially when they're overseas!)

I'm happy to chat and together we can find the best approach that serves your event within the scope of your budget!

I've written a detailed article on how Graphic Recording Rates & Fees work.

I've also shared my standard rates for Graphic Recording, feel free to explore them. If you'd rather share your budget or receive a custom quote, just get in touch!

Please browse the Graphic Recording page to find out more, or get in touch with any questions :)

Absolutely!

In order to give you a quote, I'll need to know a little about what you’re looking for and how many sessions you'd like recorded.

My rates are flexible to reflect the nature of the event and various factors, such as:

- Number of hours to Graphic Record

- Remote or in-person event Illustration (the latter includes travel costs)

- Capturing in real-time or from a recording

- Combining with other graphic projects supporting the event

Send me a message and we'll figure something out!

Sustainable graphic recording refers to the practice of creating visual representations of discussions, events, or ideas in a way that minimizes environmental impact and promotes social responsibility. This can involve various sustainable practices, such as:

• Using eco-friendly materials: I prefer to use digital tools to reduce the need for physical materials - as known as Digital Graphic Recording.
  

• Promoting sustainability themes: I'm often invited to Graphic Record content that helps promote these themes - I often illustrating discussions around sustainability, climate change, environmental practices, or corporate social responsibility efforts.
  

• Reducing waste: By promoting Virtual Graphic Recording, I also limit my environmental impact by not travelling to the conferences, workshops, and events I'm invited to illustrate.
  

• Avoiding the use of AI in my Graphic Recording work I’m committed to promoting human talent, and this extends to my visual work. I don’t use AI in any of my artworks; they are 100% hand-drawn.
  

Overall, sustainable graphic recording focuses not only on how the visuals are created but also on aligning the practice with broader sustainability goals, both in content and process. To find out more, here's a piece on Digital and Virtual Graphic Recording for Sustainable Events!

To be honest, not much! It's such a niche profession, we do it in many ways, and have many names for it

Graphic Recording and Scribing are one and the same, the former is more common in the US and Canada, while the latter is commonly used in the UK

Some of us prefer to call what we do Visual Note-taking or Live Illustration. I personally believe these are easier to understand for those who have never heard of it

Visual Facilitation may cover Graphic Recording, but generally means a more interactive approach - when we help design or lead a workshop with visual tools

So don't worry, these are all used interchangeably!

Has your event already taken place, but you'd like a Visual Summary of the key ideas?

No worries!

If you have an audio or video recording of the main sessions or talks, I can absolutely work with those to create your Visual Summary! All the Visual Notes above can be created based on audio or video recordings as well, and the cost may be reduced since the timing is more flexible.

Ideally, we need a couple of weeks to prepare for Live Illustration, especially if the Conference is in person and requires travelling. The service generally includes a Creative Planning Call, a Branded Digital Template, and a Technical Rehearsal prior to the event, and these all contribute to the overall success of the event visualization!

That's not to say it's not possible, especially if you happen to get in touch at the right time - so send me a message and we'll explore our options!

If you'd like me to travel to the US and are happy to cover my travel expenses, I'm there!

Many of my clients are from the States, as that's where my Graphic Recording business started. Thankfully, Virtual Graphic Recording has allowed us to continue our creative collaboration, even when travelling isn't an option, as I can now join to Graphic Record conferences based in the States from anywhere in the world.

Well, I hope so! I'll be the ideal Graphic Recorder for your event if...

I love taking Visual Notes digitally, and here are a few great reasons for that! Here are the top 10 reasons I could think of...

- Digital Graphic Recording allows us to make better use of your brand colours and themes

- The ability to edit the information post live Graphic Recording is super practical

- During the conference, you can control when you'd like to share the Graphic Recording!

- Digital Graphic Recording is more environmentally friendly & practical than the analogue version

If you'd like to find out more about this, enjoy my detailed article on the Benefits of Digital Graphic Recording!

Absolutely. However, the more the graphic recorder prepares for your event - spending the time, exploring the resources, and asking the right questions -, the better output you can expect in real time!

Check out the article, 'Is Graphic Recording Real-time?' ...to learn more about how you can facilitate my work!

I get more and more requests for this unique event visualizing approach, as we start preparing for a conference we'll be Graphic Recording. Visual Conference Summaries are different in that we create only one graphic to summarize the whole day, instead of multiple session graphics!

Why would one prefer a Visual Conference Summary?

- Perhaps they don't see the need for each session's visual documentation

- Sometimes the details are too confidential to circulate around on the internet in the form of a graphic - they just want to see the big picture

- The need for one graphic they can share in a follow up email or on social media, as a high-level summary

I've written an article on this, including examples of Visual Conference Summaries I created for the International Water Association and the NHS.

We can prepare together to create a successful event experience! ​

Before the event, we'll schedule a call to ...

- Review the background, our objectives, and who the attendees are

- Walk through the agenda (if we have one) and align on our plan for the sessions - what we will listen for, the key takeaways, and what success looks like

- Discuss your preferred style, brand colors, logos, and any specific imagery to capture or to avoid

- Explore the audio-visual setup and display options for both hybrid and virtual events

This is the process we follow for events & conferences - read more about this type of Graphic Recording.

It's quite an enjoyable and creative process!

If you just need me to hop on and be your Visual Note-taker at an online event, I have simplified the process to make that possible.

I've written an article on Graphic Recording Rates & Fees, and why lower prices may result in sacrificing on the quality.

However, I've been thinking about how to make Graphic Recording more accessible - 'cheaper', if you will - without any loss of quality - which is still a priority for me.

So I have tailored my approach to suit those looking to have Visual Notes but don't have a lot of budget - here's the article explaining some ways you can reduce Graphic Recording Fees and opened a page on this type of Visual Note-taking for you to explore.

As a Graphic Recorder, I get to join a great range of events - and that's something I love about my work.

The most common types of events I join to Graphic Record are epic Keynote Speeches , Annual Conferences, Board Meetings, Leadership Events, Round Table Sessions, Panel Discussions, Innovation Workshops, Diversity & Inclusion Workshops, Patient Focus Groups, Strategy Workshops, Market Research Meetings, Webinars, Award Ceremonies, Plenary Sessions and Community Conversations.

...basically anything with a great monologue or conversation happening! Many of these remain confidential after the events, but you can find great Graphic Recording examples on my website.

If Graphic Recording is not an option - say, too many sessions at once - , you might want to consider creating a Visual Conference Summary instead.
