Graphic recording isn’t there to make your conference look interesting on Instagram. It’s there to help people think.

When conversations become visual, people can see patterns, connections, priorities—and sometimes the glaring disconnect nobody noticed while everyone was busy nodding.

That big wall of words and pictures is your team’s thinking, made visible.

And when people can see what they’re thinking together, clarity has a fighting chance.

People make a big effort to attend your event. They fly in, they drive for hours, and empty their schedules.

Your attendees think it’s worth it because there are some conversations you just can’t replicate in a grid of little boxes on a screen.

It’s the magic when someone builds on an idea and the room goes: “Oh, that’s it.”

So when people make the effort to gather in person, the experience should leave something behind.

Graphic recording captures the ideas, tensions, breakthroughs and shared language as they
happen—then turns them into something everyone can see, remember and return to long after the chairs are stacked and the drive home begins.

“Either we’re the data set, or we’re building the data set. I’d rather be building it,” said Cynthia Vasquez to a room full of female founders at the Mintz offices.

Sponsored by Hera Hub, the AI Female Founders event brought together professional women around one big question: How can we strategically use AI to build our businesses, pursue our passions, make money, and do good?

Moderated by Felena Hanson, founder of Hera Hub, the panel featured real-world case studies showing how businesses are already using AI successfully.

Colleen Schnettler reminded us:
“You don’t need to wait for permission. You just need to go out there and try stuff, and do it, and hopefully you can find something that really helps you grow your business.”

Cynthia Vasquez shared:
“AI allows us—when used correctly and responsibly—to show up more fully.”
“It frees you to focus on the relational component and show up fully present.”

Lena Skliarova Mordvinova cautioned:
“The closer your business is to your personal brand, the less you should automate your voice”

And Tammy Hopkins brought us back to purpose:
“Before you chase all the tools, think about the purpose.”
“This is a tool. It isn’t a magic wand.”

Afterward, each panelist led a breakout session, giving attendees the chance to dig deeper into practical ways they can use AI in their businesses right now.

I had a tiny artist join my graphic recording efforts at the DoGoodDanielsFoundation Rewrite Your Story book launch.

The theme of the evening was that everyone has a story — and every story deserves to be shared.

So when a four-year-old girl asked if she could color with me, I gave her a drawing board of her own. And away she went.

Her dad eventually had to drag her away — after taking a picture, of course.

Research should not sit in a journal collecting dust. It should get out into the community and do some actual good.

That’s why I loved talking with Shalom Staub of UCLA about what it takes to build real partnerships between universities and communities.
