The Future Insights Live conference is chock-full of inspiring stories, lessons and- well, insights! In parts one and two of this series, we asked Future Insights speakers about the value they bring into peoples’ lives through their work. This third and final installment focuses on the value that attendees got from 3 days of workshops, talks and meetups – and what better way to share than with an awesome graphical story in time lapse form?

Attendees shared what inspired them during FILive, and Sophia would ink it up onto the wall. The purpose of the graffiti wall was to create a visual representation of the conference.
