AUSTIN, Texas -- About 800 panels took place during SXSW Interactive this year, so unless you had some clones on hand, you probably missed most of them.
If you missed any important ones, though, help is on the way. ImageThink, which bills itself as New York City's only graphic recording firm, has released some refreshingly analog summaries of those big talks. This isn't ImageThink's first SXSW: Ogilvy, the New York-based ad agency, contracted with the company in 2011. ImageThink is now the official recorder of the festival.

In addition to providing an entertaining distraction during the sessions -- ImageThink's artists are constantly sketching while the talks are going on -- the company also believes that such cartoonish diagrams help you understand (and remember) what panelists are actually saying.
This may be true; even if you took notes during the presentations, you may not have recalled the way the conversation flowed. Glancing at one of the following visual summaries may help jog your memory.
