Visual Notetaking for Beginners (Workshop)

This is a free pre-conference workshop for everybody with a conference ticket. Wednesday January 30 16:30-18:30 in the Meervaart theater.

As developers, product owners, architects and other software professionals, we regularly have to draw. Sometimes it’s note-taking in a meeting, sometimes it’s designing at a whiteboard or at a flip chart. Sometimes it’s adding some snazz to a yellow sticky. In this workshop, you’ll experiment with several techniques to add that little touch to your notes.
