How can you generally make people\u0027s knowledge more easily accessible in meetings, workshops, or virtual conferences? And how can you foster creativity and mutual understanding among diverse professionals? These questions are addressed in a new emerging field called knowledge visualization that integrates findings from information visualization, communication studies, and cognitive sciences. In the talk, we\u0027ll examine the premise and promise of this field and look at both seminal concepts, as well as real-life application examples of collaborative knowledge visualization. Key seminal concepts that will be discussed are the notion of \u0022diagrammatic free ride\u0022, \u0022representational guidance\u0022, and \u0022law encoding diagrams\u0022. Application contexts of the shown examples include planning, ideation, project learning, and decision making.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMartin J.
