Online Visual Thinking Meet-Ups
The Visual Thinking community is vibrant, colourful, fun and growing!
And with the current global situation lots of local communities are now connecting globally online. While we are all sadly missing in-person meet-ups with face-to-face chats, drinks and hugs (Boooo!!! 😟), it also means on the other hand that we can now attend lots of events online that we would have missed otherwise (Yayyyy!!! 🥳).
I’ve been enjoying quite a bit of virtual Vizthink tourism over the last few weeks (both as a participant and as a guest speaker a couple of times) and I put together the following list of all the wonderful visual thinking meet-ups from around Europe so you can join in the fun as well! Most of the meet-ups are happening once a month, are free to join and offer learning, exchange, practice and a fun time with fellow visual thinkers.
Maybe see you online at one of these soon?
Oh, and of course, if I missed a great meet-up, just drop me line so I can add it to the list.
