Hear Dan Roam talk about persuading people with pictures. Whether convincing leadership to back a project, getting a VC to fund a business, building consensus on a project team, or selling a new technology platform within an organization, nothing is more powerful than a simple picture for discovering and developing technological concepts and business ideas. This session shows how to use the pictures we've created to persuade other people to take action.

Excellent presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about the psychology of how we visually learn and appreciate information. I am definitely a borderline "black pen"/"yellow pen" person and I feel that drawing can not only help solve problems and sell ideas, but drawing is just darn stress-releaving! :) Nice job Dan! Thanks for signing my book!

This is a real eye-opener. I had dismissed Dan's book before and I'm not sure why, but having seen this I have just ordered a copy. I think it will be really interesting to try solving with complex problems in this visual manner and I am eager to give it a go. Now how do I add a drawing to this comment ;-)

As a trained illustrator who is getting into programming through visual design, I was surprised people don't already know these tricks! They are essential, enjoyable parts to my problem solving for every project. They're extremely effective to clarify the problem and communicate a proposed solution. I'm glad this lecture is at Mix09
