I spent Saturday at the New York Center for Independent Publishing, which presented Splat!, a graphic-novel symposium. This is how I took notes. There might be little interesting things for you to read, if you are inclined. They did a pretty good job on the programming, though there is a cautionary tale here for those in charge of lining up speakers for an event. Make sure that if you ask someone to talk on a topic - say, "the importance of place in the graphic novel" - that the speaker addresses general issues around the topic rather than just speaking of his own experience on one specific project. All in all, though, I'm glad I went. Did you know that graphic novels/comics are the fastest-growing area of publishing? Me neither.

What a great way to keep notes!! Love it.
What a wonderful way to document the conference. Sadly I missed the event but felt I was able to relive it a bit through your illustrated notes.
This is great...and what a cool conference to attend! Thanks for taking notes!
I love peeking into notebooks, and illustrated conference notes are some of my favorites. These are some great observations.
A pal of mine, Ruth McNally Barshaw, does an incredible job of illustrating our SCBWI NY Conference every year. She posts the entire book online (80+ pages!)…it’s breathtaking!
