I’ve just got back from another DDD South West. It’s the last time at the Engine Shed, the venue it’s been at for several years. It’s a shame, as the venue is perfect for an event like this, and the food is excellent.
This year I was a speaker, doing a session on sketchnoting. It’s the first time I’ve given this talk, and I got the whole audience sketching along with me during the session. Several people also took my challenge to sketchnote a session during the rest of the day. Hopefully they will continue to do so at other events.
