COFES 2004 to Welcome First Taste of Visual Journalism

Visual Journalist, Eileen Clegg, to Encapsulate Main COFES Keynotes

BETHESDA, Md., February 18, 2004 - Cyon Research Corporation, a provider of consulting and research for engineering technology markets and host of COFES2004, the Congress On the Future of Engineering Software, today announced that visual journalist Eileen Clegg will be visually documenting this fifth annual event.

Eileen Clegg is a pioneer of visual communication techniques, termed as Visual Journalism, where the many, and often varied, messages of a presentation can be encapsulated in a graphical ‘map’.

“A picture says a thousand words,” stated Brad Holtz, president and CEO, Cyon Research. “Eileen’s work combines graphics and words to be able to communicate the messages and key points imparted during a presentation and keynote. We are very excited to add this method of communication to our event.”

“Many major events have pivotal and defining points in their presentations and keynotes that often are not captured,” stated Eileen Clegg. “We try to capture those messages with tools that deepen and expand communication, capture the big ideas and subtle sub-themes, and create a dynamic record that invites ongoing energy toward positive change.”

Some previous clients of visual journalism are, IBM Almaden symposium, Tech Learn Conference, Darden School of Business and Cambridge University Press.
