I attended the 18th International Association of Facilitators Asia Conference, Mumbai, India, #iafasia15 with the specific intent to photobomb the event with uninvited Graphic Recording. I succeeded. Total cost about 1200 USD.
Decorative poster I created.
At Changi airport I bought myself a Moleskin A5 unlined notebook to record my congress sketch notes.
40,000 feet in the air I decided to start sketchnoting.

Enjoying myself with the congress registration team.
Task for "home team"
My home team at work
My graphic inputs at world cafe
Minutes before they presented I asked Yoo and Lee if I may do a GR of their session.
Without paper roll, I used a pair of flipcharts : it works!
Sketchnote as home team debriefs on sessions they attended
Sketchnotes as Hong Kong team share how they collaborate

Q&A
I skipped my original C2 session to attend and scribe session C6
My chart
This was the cream of the cake as far as I was concerned. At open space (OST) the 180 participants were invited to host topics: about 40 people stepped forwards.
Ms Deepa sitting next to me was bugging me to host a session on "Graphic Recording".
"What is it about it that you want to know?" I asked.
"Using drawing in facilitation" she said.
"You host the session" I countered, "And I will attend".
Deepa did, and I attended. and so did more than 20 other participants.
The first chart captures the essence of our conversation.
The second chart is some participants tentative steps into the world of visuals in facilitation.
In summary: Objective achieved!!
I manage to showcase the benefits of visuals, impromptu sketchnotes, posters, graphic recordings : capturing scenic spots, intimate 1-1 conversations, group activities, plenary sessions, workshops, group discussions. I piqued interest and demo-ed in the world of image thinking and the multiple-use tool of graphics in facilitation.
