In two days, the Sketch Group team flies out to sponsor our first-ever international conference: the 2026 EOS Conference in Kansas City, Missouri.

Around 1,400 business owners and EOS experts will descend on the city for two and a half days of learning, conversation, and networking, and we’ll be right in the thick of it.

Here’s what we’re getting up to:

  • Visually capturing the keynotes live, in real time
  • Running an IdeaSketch™ activation (with a Sketchnoting Starter Kit up for grabs)
  • Giving away goodies, including brand new Visual Thinking Types schwag and a stash of our favourite Aussie chocolates and treats
  • Formally launching the Visual Operating System (VOS™)

That last one is the big one.

A bit of backstory

We’ve been running Sketch Group on EOS for a few years now. Over time, we noticed something: many of the strategic visuals we were creating for clients naturally mapped onto the way EOS helps businesses see and run themselves. The VisionSketch™ brought 10-year targets to life. The ProcessSketch™ turned proven methods into assets people actually used. The ValuesSketch™ gave core values depth and resonance that a slide deck never could.

Slowly, a pattern emerged. These visual snapshots, when viewed together, formed a visual layer on top of how a business thinks. We started calling that layer the Visual Operating System.

What is VOS™?

VOS stands for Visual Operating System, our collection of strategic visual tools that give businesses a clearer view of themselves.

Put simply: VOS makes EOS visual.

Strategic visuals like these:

  • give leaders better visibility of their business
  • reinforce culture across the organisation
  • inspire and educate team members
  • create alignment that actually sticks

We’ve seen it work. We’re excited to share it properly, and Kansas City feels like exactly the right room to do it in.

Coming to the 2026 EOS Conference?

Please come and say hi. We’d love to show you what VOS looks like in practice. Plus we’ve got Tim Tams, Caramello Koalas, and Minties to share.
