VizThink 08

Here are more posts written by the VizThink facilitators. VizThink is also collecting all the materials from the conference and putting them up on a wiki, which will serve as one piece of a membership site.

Ryan Coleman is the coordinator for VizThink Toronto. He’s been doing a great job getting his local area inspired about visual thinking. I know I have wanted a community around this aspect of my work for a long time.

Jamie Nast specializes in mindmapping. I had the pleasure of working a bit with her for the VizThink challenge, which I will be reporting on soon.

Brent Schlenker is someone I have exchanged blog comments with. I’m always interested in meeting people in person to see if my impressions of them formed through their online identities match with face to face. Brent has an edgy humorous online feel, yet I found him to be quite warm and personable live in the room.

Dan Roam. Bring extra napkins if you are around Dan. He got everyone around him drawing on them. I heard lots of great things about his session.

Matthew Homan facilitated several exercises with the almost 400 participants. Having had that experience also, I truly appreciate what he was able to do. He wisely picked things that fit into the short times alloted, yet brought a bit of reflection to an otherwise very crowded schedule.

    Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed your session, as well, but would have loved to see how much core would have developed had you been afforded the luxury of a bit more time.Matt

    Matt,
    The data from the session with Artrain is fascinating, even given the short timeframe. I’m in the process of organizing it for analysis, and hope to have at least initial material to report back soon. With a data pull that quick with so many people it becomes a matter of pattern recognition. Certainly not something that could be demonstrated in the five minutes that was available for reporting in the session.
