“It was absolutely amazing to meet both old and new friends. Hugging my EVP and IFVP friends, also sharing smiles and deep thoughts with the ISC community meant the world to me. While I couldn’t speak to everyone, I tried to make eye contact with most of you and truly felt everyone’s presence. The conversations I did have were incredibly moving, inspiring, motivating, and educational.”
– Kati Orav on Linkedin

“That is what this community does. Not convincing each other, but borrowing each other’s way of seeing and taking something better home because of it.”
– Karl Mortier on Linkedin

“Excited to be back amongst my tribe at my third International Sketchnote Camp in beautiful Verona.”
– Emma Baxton on Linkedin

“If someone told me at work that we had 100 stakeholders, three days and a blank agenda, I would open a document immediately and start fixing it while probably also muttering something about facilitation and lack there of. […] But then people started filling the grid. Within an hour it was full, within two it had been rewritten more times than I could keep track of, and what came out the other end was a programme I could never have designed.”
– Susanne Krogh-Hansen on Linkedin

“It’s been an honour to attend for the second year running, leaving with fresh nuggets of wisdom to bring visuals into leadership and governance.”
– Kerrie Louise on Linkedin

“No ready-made answers. No predetermined outcomes. Just enough structure to allow people to explore and develop ideas and thoughts in their own ways. No judgement, but plenty of appreciation, laughter, joy and curiosity. […] Somehow, I ended up learning far more about facilitation than I could have ever dreamed.”
– Hanna Kortström on Linkedin

“Creative people can connect, share hard messages and build community action”
– Fran O’Hara on Linkedin

“And even though this was already the 9th edition, this year felt truly special. For the first time, two communities came together: the International Sketchnote Camp and European Visual Practitioners (EVP). Sketchnoters, graphic recorders, facilitators and visual thinking practitioners from all corners of the world in one place. Something beautiful.”
– Ania Staśkiewicz on Linkedin

“This year, Verona was the place to be for visual practitioners from all over the world. The International Sketchnote Community and European Visual Practitioners convened in this beautiful city. To learn and inspire each other. And to meet old friends and make new ones.”
– Mathijs Tuynman on Linkedin

“I’m still reminiscing and processing everything. You have not only put visual works on the map, but also beautiful Verona.” (translated from Dutch)
– Phyllis Verbunt on Linkedin

“A graphic recording was made of each workshop […] A wealth of new and educational information and ideas about our profession. So you didn’t really have to miss anything. Long live graphic recording! Small details that made me very happy: the coffee breaks were organized by mentally disabled young people, great! The interesting guided city walk. The cool goodie bag with fine products from Neuland, among others. But above all: everyone’s enthusiasm.”
– Femke van Woensel-Janssen on Linkedin

“Creativity at its best, lots of fun and insights during the harvesting, networking opportunities, discussions on some of today’s hot topics, barcamp sessions about drawing animals, going 3D, visual psychology, humour as another tool in graphic recording, and more.”
– Fernanda Freytes Ramos on Linkedin
