Three kinds of session
Your what: alignment
For teams that need a North Star: launching a business unit, product or initiative, or working out who leads and what the mission is. We define the mandate, find shared goals and break down silos.
Your how: strategic planning
Meetings run by committee are doomed before they begin: no agenda, no structure, no record. For brainstorms, pitches and strategic plans, we chart the path and the tactics.
Your why: purpose
Working in pictures makes the professional more personal. It sparks creativity and strengthens purpose, and teams with purpose are more passionate about the work ahead.
“Nora’s visualization at the end was amazing – keep doing that for future customer interactions, because I’ve never seen that before and was a cool way to end the session.”

What is meeting facilitation and why do you need it?
Whether in-person or virtual, organizations are demanding more out of their meetings. It’s critical to have seasoned and professional meeting and conference agenda design to optimize the time, creativity, and energy of their team to make an impact. ImageThink’s graphic facilitation solutions ensure every meeting not only accomplishes the goal, but delights participants.
What is meeting illustration?
Meeting illustration, or graphic recording as we call it, is the real-time translation of conversations or presentations into text and pictures. Graphic recorders do three things simultaneously: they listen for key ideas, synthesize them, and document them in visual form. It gives meeting and conference attendees an opportunity to absorb content on a visual level.
What is the purpose of graphic recording at a meeting?
In a presentation, graphic recording increases engagement and memory-retention for the participants. Many people are visual learners, and studies indicate that people remember more information when combined with visuals, especially using mnemonic devices, than via spoken word alone.
During a brainstorm or strategy session, a skilled graphic recorder will incorporate all of the group’s contributions into a coherent visual while revealing connections between ideas that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. This practice promotes creative thinking, collaboration and deeper engagement by creating a collective vision (literally).
How do you make meetings more productive?
Our graphic facilitation for productive meetings includes real-time synthesis, whiteboarding, visual frameworks, and follow-up visuals that reinforce action steps. By engaging multiple learning styles and bringing ideas to life visually, we ensure every minute of your meeting delivers impact.
How much does it cost?
At ImageThink, we price our strategic meeting facilitation according to the nature of your engagement – whether it’s an internal meeting or public conference, for example – and how much support you need. Staffing, time, and materials are all factors in our rate card. Get in touch to discuss how we can help bring your biggest ideas to the surface and we’ll provide you with a custom quote.
