This year ImageThink visualized big ideas at 159 public and private events across North America. Topics ranged from burgeoning computer con-sciousness and social media behaviors, to the future of American innova-tion and cloud computing.
Our team of artists listened, synthesized the information, and created a vi-sual summary as the talks unfolded in real-time. What you’ll find on these pages are the results of those efforts — a selection of the best ideas Im-ageThink scribed this year.
We hope you’ll enjoy this recap of what we think were the most insightful, smart, and fresh talks given at public conferences of 2012.
