Just a quick post to update everyone on some upcoming events on the local community side of things. We’ve got three events (announced) coming up in the next few weeks. Two of them, Boston & Philadelphia are the first local event for those communities.

VizThink Boston 1 – April 9, 2009

Please join us for the inaugural meeting of VizThink Boston – bringing together all those interested in exploring visual thinking in its many forms and purposes. At this first meeting we’ll be looking at the diversity of interests in the room; so please bring an example of visual thinking to share – an example of your work, a favorite image, a inspiring piece of visual thought, etc. – and come prepared to tell us a something about yourself, your interest in visual thinking, and what you hope VizThink Boston might provide for the visual thinking community.

Details and registration can be found here.

VizThink Philadelphia 1 – April 22, 2009

This first meetup will do a 1-hour creative activity, a visual mind-spill, where you will gush images onto paper and share them with your neighbors. Led by Jonny Goldstein. No experience necessary: You just need to be interested in visual communication and learning.

Details and registration can be found here. The organizers of this event are also looking for a venue for it – if you know of some sapace that can handle 20-25 people please drop me a line at community@vizthink.com and I’ll connect you with Jonny.

VizThink Netherlands 3 – May 7, 2009

We are excited that the T-Xchange laboratory wants to be the venue for this session. It is a great place where experiments with futuristic visual interactions can be held and therefore we chose the following theme:

the Future of Visual Thinking

Our high level program will be (under development- until further notice):

• Welcome (around 12.00)
• About the future – a story about…
• PITCH your session – a short 2 minute pitch to interest you in one of the experiments
• Parallel sessions:
  - Non linear presentations (Eric Kramer, TriMM)
  - Tools for Thinkers, the future of the Industry (Malik de Kok, Denkwerkplaats)
  - To be confirmed: Kinesthetic Modeling as a method of Visual Thinking in 3D (Nick Payne, Armour Plated Camel)
  - [Your session?]
• Presentations/results of the day
• Drink ‘n’ Talk – VIZZY-BAR
