2013 Visual Thinking & Literacy Conference

The 2013 Visual Thinking Conference is for anyone focused on visual approaches to thinking and communication. So whether you are a business leader giving presentations, a marketing manager designing websites and materials, or a grade school teacher looking for new ways to reach students, no other event offers you more of today’s solutions… and tomorrow’s vision.


The Visual Thinking Conference is like no other conference you’ve ever attended (it will even be different from last year!). We don’t have speakers. We have facilitators. We’re bringing in experts from all over the country who will not just tell you about their approach, but have you try it out during the session. Here’s a few of the exciting experts:



  • Ryan Coleman

  • Tom Crawford

  • Karl Gude

  • Jessica Hagy

  • Laura Johnson

  • Jamie Nast

  • Matt Pierce

  • Chad Simon

  • Jameson Toole


Tickets are $125 for business people and community members, $50 for K-12 teachers and $25 for high school and college students. Tickets include a continental breakfast and box lunch.
