Since then, I’ve learned that graphic recording is really hard to do. I was particlarly impressed by the conference-wide summary graphic, and the process by which they produced it. After the last session, recorders went through each session’s board and made post-it notes of the key points. Then, they arranged the post-its on the summary board until they came to a sensible layout, after which they removed the post-its and drew in the final graphics. Check out the flickr pool showing all the boards.  Update: Alexa from AP muses about ways to encourage more audience participation in graphic recordings.

It is as you write a great idea to get the participants to interact with the talks and sessions. That way participants will remeber more of the ideas they are exposed to. One could use mini versions of Open Space meetings with themes of the sessions, thereby collecting the creative power of the crowd.
