## AI overview

The author explains a OneNote-based system for taking and organizing notes during conferences. They create sections for conferences and other activities, pages for individual conferences, and add talk notes, slides, photos, and video links. Notes can be exported as PDF, although the author describes image-cutting issues and a mobile-app workaround.

## Source excerpt

Today I want to share my setup of note-taking that I use during conferences. Unfortunately, I'm not the guy able to take the beautiful, colorful sketchnotes that you can see on Twitter. That's because I have never been able to draw, put colors and do manual graphics stuff in an orderly manner. My notes on paper would be colorless and cryptic. Moreover, I like the idea to have in one place, all the information regarding the talk that I watched, for example, link to the slides, photo, video, etc.
