I like to quickly scribble down things from slides but also, write down things directly from the speaker if they stand out to me.
Have a look at an example of Eamon Droko’s (@eamond15) notes during Leeds Testing Atelier.
How about you, how do you take notes at a conference, meetup or other types of community gatherings ?
What do you do with those notes later on?
In most of the meetup, the organizers provide diary or note book before the meetup starts so I used that to note down important points, however in case if they are not being provided then I use apps in my mobile for making notes.
as @ujjwal.singh said, i also try to use that notebook a little one to note down points
The stuff i already know i generally don’t note it down
If diary and pen is not provided, then i use the widget which is available on my phone desktop
