Visual Minutes for Events
Which meeting minutes did you start reading? :)

Live Visual Minutes will Keep Your Audience Engaged

Holding people's attention can be a struggle when it comes to virtual events — it's natural to drift off or tackle a to-do list while a zoom meeting plays in the background. But when you introduce live visual minuting, something changes. Turning dialogue into dynamic visuals in the moment creates a sense of connection and focus that’s hard to ignore.

People love seeing that they've been heard. Knowing that Visual Minutes are being taken the conversation often inspires attendees to engage and share more.

Visual Minutes at online meeting

Online events can often fade into a blur the moment they end... Wouldn’t it be great to have a visual snapshot of your conversations?


That’s the magic of live visual minuting. These vibrant, illustrated summaries make key insights stick, while the live-drawing artist adds a creative spark that makes the whole experience stand out in your memory.

Visual Minutes to Record your Online Meeting


Unlike traditional meeting notes, which can be dry or hard to read, visual minutes give a quick, visually engaging summary of the key ideas and takeaways. They’re perfect for sharing after the event, and attendees will appreciate having something they can look back on to remember the best parts. Plus, you can use these visual notes to kick off future events, or as marketing to showcase the impact of your work.

Visual Minutes make Complex Ideas easier to Understand


People absorb information in different ways, and for many, visual learning is especially effective. Although visual minuting can serve as detailed documentation upon request, that's not where it's real strength lies (in my opinion). Visual Minuting is meant to distill the core messages and connect them in a way that enhances clarity and understanding.

Visual Minutes make your message stand out on Social Media


If you had or took part in an amazing event, you might want to share about it on social media! You may have photos when it comes to in-person conferences, but what about virtual ones? Will a screenshot of your zoom gallery do? Visual Minutes are a wonderful way to ensure your event’s impact spreads far beyond the virtual room. These visuals offer a unique way to share about your event on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, or in your newsletter; instead of just sharing photos, you're giving a glimpse into the conversations in an engaging and beautiful way—not just a bullet-pointed list.


Visual notes, created with social media in mind, don’t need to be overly detailed. Instead, they can focus on high-level insights that are easily digestible and will spark conversations. Attendees will likely love sharing the highlights from your event, giving you free, organic exposure.

Visual Minuting adds a Personal Touch to an Online Event


Live visual minuting happens in real time, which means the notes may be imperfect, edgy, or even unfinished in places. But this openness, playfulness, and genuineness help everyone feel more connected — and you’ll see, they’ll feel more inspired to share!

What online events often lack most are the human qualities — and visual minutes can bring those back. Their unique personality, visual humour, and style make the event feel warmer and more human.
