International Sketchnote Camp in Hamburg<\/h2>\n

Last Saturday I attended the International Sketchnote Camp<\/a>. You read right \u2013 there is a Sketchnote camp. I was actually the first gathering of that kind and oh how nerdy it was! In a good way! <\/p>\n

The camp was organized in the Barcamp format<\/a> which is sort of a self-organized conference. That means everyone can suggest a topic and give a session, just step up in the morning, present your topic and find a time-slot. <\/p>\n

I arrived a little late because I took an early train from Berlin to Hamburg so I missed that part. But I wasn\u2019t planning on giving a session anyways (I would have loved to but there was simply no time to prepare one. Maybe next time.) <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But I was just in time for Mike Rohde’s<\/a> Keynote and if you\u2019re familiar with the Sketchnote topic you know him \u2013 Mike is T H E Sketchnote Guru. He invented the term \u00bbSketchnote\u00ab and wrote the first book<\/a> [Affiliate Link] about it. When Mike started to follow me on Twitter a while ago I was so flattered! And when he asked me if he could get a copy of my book<\/a> even though he doesn\u2019t speak German, I felt so so honored. So I took the opportunity to say hi to him in real life and give him a copy of the book<\/a> and thanking him for starting the Sketchnote idea. <\/p>\n

Since I couldn\u2019t participate in any of the workshops on Friday I was really happy to hear that one of the workshops was moved to Saturday. Caroline Chapple<\/a> spoke about \u00bbFrom Sketchnoting to Graphic Recording\u00ab. I find that an interesting topic because I\u2019m thinking about doing Graphic Recordings as well. Maybe just from time to time because it\u2019s really hard work, you need to travel a lot and the big format is something you need to get used to it. I also learned that the size is basically the only difference to Sketchnotes. Well, I kind of knew that but it felt good to hear it from some experts.<\/p>\n

The other session I attended was about how to get Sketchnotes to schools. I mean how awesome would that be! Sketchnotes in schools! So we basically spoke about what to do to get teachers to use Sketchnotes. And I finally took my first digital Sketchnote using the iPad Pro and Procreate. I drew a lot on it already. Once you get used to that digital feeling and know where to buy the brushes you need, it\u2019s actually pretty cool. I\u2019ve never used it for live-drawing though but it worked pretty well. It also gives you the chance to use with color backgrounds or other colors for lines. And of course, you can take videos too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course there were so much more interesting sessions. But there were so many people to meet that I spent the rest of the day chatting with others. It turns out, when you make a book<\/a> people love to have it signed so I signed a lot of books \ud83d\ude42 That was really a new experience for me and it was so flattering!
\nI had a long chat with Marc Bourguignon<\/a> from France. He gave me such an amazing feedback on the book, even though he doesn\u2019t speak German that I\u2019m still really flattered (Thanks again Marc).<\/p>\n

And of course I met a lot of other Sketchnote buddies like Eva-Lotta Lamm<\/a>, Tanja Wehr<\/a>, Franziska Schwarz<\/a>, Diana Meier-Soriat<\/a>, Professor Clayton and so many people from my digital Sketchnote bubble but still I feel I missed so many (I had to leave right after the closing ceremony because I had a Sparpreis). I got so much amazing feedback on my work, thanks to all of you for that.<\/p>\n

What I really loved about the conference is that everyone was drawing! On most of the conferences there are only a few sketchnoters, sometimes I\u2019m the only one. <\/p>\n
