Thanks to Mark Dowds of Creationstep for the use of the space.
If reg hits 50 please add your name to the waiting list - capacity is set at that point as I can guarantee a spot for that many. I am actively working on a space that should hold 100-120 so I expect to increase capacity.
VizThink4 builds from Mark and Michael's presentation of mindmapping in VizThink2 and is inspired by the hands-on facilitation done by XPLANE's Dave Gray and Scott Matthews' VizThink3. This interactive seminar will highlight differences and similarities between mind mapping and concept mapping through theoretical discussion, professional and academic case studies, applied design activities and investigation of computer-based tools for concept mapping.
It is not expected or assumed you've attended any previous VizThink - all are welcome, and the previous attendees are a good crowd ready to help out if you have questions.
What You Should Bring (if you can...)
PaperIndex Cards, 8.5x11", notepads etc., post-it notes| (to represent nodes)
Coloured Pens & MarkersMake sure you've got pens, pencils, sharpies with you| (for annotation and description)
Masking Tape (to note linking statements and keep all the above on the wall...)
Twine/String (to make links...)
What we need
Projector - anyone got one they can bring/loan?
VizThink is intended to be a vehicle for the community to meet, learn and discuss the ideas around the notion of Visual Thinking. Ideally this type of session will give people the tools they need to express themselves in new ways regardless of artistic ability.
Free Labour
This isn't a venue for obtaining free-talent/labour. The goal of the Design half of the evening isn't to finish your work for you but help you:
- get started/brainstorm
- get over a hurdle
- get feedback on something you've created.
A Lecture
While there will be a "presentation" component presenters will be encouraged to keep "talking at" the crowd to a minimum with a focus on "talking with". Presentations involve exercises, discussion, Q&A etc.
Come prepared to share, collaborate, contribute and most important, have fun!
