In an opening keynote, he sets the stage for your conference. He then attends sessions throughout, recording each speaker's key points into idea illustrations. He also leads a series of interactive activities where the audience arranges these images (as well as their own) into useful idea maps to find out which ideas created the most insight, and where they can be applied. To end the conference, Wujec presents his sketches to recall the full range of topics presented and to reflect on any trends and patterns that have emerged. Via
