flipcharts

Meeting room standbys

Flipcharts are large pads of paper mounted on an easel, used for presentations or brainstorming sessions.

Pages flip over the top as each sheet is filled.

The format allows speakers to write ideas visibly for a group, then turn to a fresh page: She sketched the plan on the flipchart.

Though digital screens have largely replaced them, flipcharts remain common in workshops and meetings.
