Liam Hughes (Founder: Biggerplate.com) shares insights about the evolution of mind mapping and visual tools seen since launching Biggerplate.com in 2008.

For years, visual thinking tools could be neatly divided into three categories: mind mapping, concept mapping and diagramming. But that's no longer the case. These neat categories have become increasingly blurred. Plus, new types of visual tools have emerged, such as visual note-taking, visual whiteboards, infographics, data visualization and personal knowledge management. Chuck Frey has been exploring, analyzing and writing about this space for over 15 years and in this session, provided an expert high-level overview of what's new and what's next.
