Indiana Water Summit 2024 A series of graphic notes I drew at the 2024 Indiana Water Summit, a 2-day event in Indianapolis sponsored by the White River Alliance, and held at the beautiful Biltwell Event Center in Indianapolis.

It’s been so great working with you. Your visual note-taking was a really amazing contribution to this year’s Summit, and we had a lot of compliments about it. It was wonderful watching you work as well as seeing the outcome. Thanks so much for all you added to the Summit.

These are a series of graphic notes I captured at the 2024 Indiana Water Summit, a 2-day event in Indianapolis sponsored by the White River Alliance and held at the Beautiful Biltwell Event Center in Indianapolis.

I don’t get a chance to capture science topics very often, but as a former environmental educator, I really enjoy it.

The session on PFAS chemicals especially caught my attention. This particular topic, presented by a panel of researchers – the “forever chemicals” – was serious and sobering, but being able to draw it with simple imagery makes it accessible and educational to many, even if you are not a scientist or academic or other type of expert. And that, I think, is one of the best things about graphic recording.

Check out this time-lapse video of the PFAS Challenge drawing taking place; in effect, a live-action replay of the events that day, as they unfolded:

 

Such a creative and fun way to document a discussion on a big scary topic. I love this!!

We loved having you there, Julia! …You can add fun and fascination as well as great content to your event with Julia’s graphic recording — highly recommend it!

Water = Everything, isn’t it?
