Message from an organizer Hideyuki Yoshioka CEO of Knowledge Sings Inc. It's great honor to invite Tim Hamons to run his tremendous workshop of visual facilitation. In my belief, he is undoubtedly the greatest visual facilitator in the world. I witnessed amazing his visual recording in IAF Asia conference Singapore in 2014. And I learned the power of visual facilitation. Since then I've been longing to introduce his method of visual facilitation to Japanese audiences. I believe this will be the beginning of your new journey.
