LIVE SCRIBING IN SYDNEY & BEYOND

What is Live Scribing?

Live scribing is the art of transforming conversations and presentations into immersive visual stories in real time using words, illustrations and visual metaphors. As an event
or conference unfolds, a live scribe distils key ideas, insights and emerging themes
into a shared visual narrative, weaving them together to reveal the bigger picture.

​

Conversations to Canvas

Live scribing creates an engaging way for audiences to connect more deeply
with the conversation. Drawing on the principles of graphic recording and graphic facilitation, live scribing brings together visual thinking, synthesis and storytelling, helping audiences see ideas connect and thinking evolve in the moment.

Working alongside facilitators, presenters and participants, a live visual scribe listens deeply for emerging themes, unexpected connections and the ideas that matter most. Depending on the event, live scribing can unfold as a single visual story, a series of connected stories or an interactive ideas wall that evolves throughout the day.

Add a Visual Dimension

Live scribing creates a shared visual thread that brings people together
around ideas. Whether capturing keynote presentations, panel discussions
or facilitated conversations, it keeps audiences involved and connected.

Through illustration and visual storytelling, live scribing brings energy, creates momentum and adds a dynamic visual dimension to events and conferences.

Live visual scribing helps audiences:

•  Follow the conversation as it unfolds

•  See connections between topics and themes

•  Navigate complex discussions more easily

•  Stay engaged throughout presentations and discussions

•  Revisit key insights long after the event

questions, diverse perspectives and unexpected connections. Live scribing
captures the evolution of ideas as they unfold, revealing a cohesive visual story
that helps audiences recognise patterns, connect ideas and see how the pieces
come together. It reflects the energy, momentum and shared thinking of the
room, helping ideas continue to spark conversation long after the event.
