After Euviz 2014 and Euviz 2018 this year has another important gathering of visual practitioners in Europe: the Visual Thinking Global Summit will be held in Bilbao from July 27th to 30th.
This summit will take place on site & also online in hybrid format with the moto: Shake it to shape it!
By drawing inspiration from outside our field of practice the summit will look to offer a framework for collaborative work, to give innovative and creative answers, without closed answers. Unfolding the enormous potential offered by Visual Thinking, the Visual Language to our organizational, social, economic, cultural and educational ecosystems.

EVP Friday Cocktails
On the first or second Friday of every month EVP hosts “Friday Cocktails,” a regular, relaxed hang-out to connect, co-learn and co-create with other practitioners. It’s Friday afternoon, time to relax, draw and have a laugh!
It is EVP Coctail time again on Friday 6th of May!
This cocktail hour will be all about the spotlight interviews. Didn’t we do this last time? Yes you are right! And it was so much fun to get to know each other in a different way, we want to do this again!
We are looking forward to getting to know you there!
Register here for the Cocktail!
