? When your ideas seem locked in your brain,try a mind map – maybe it’s the key… (Tweet me!)
? Every year Mind Map Mad challenges the best mind mapping software companies out there!
? We tell them to put their maps where their marketing is and show us what they’ve got!
? Our aim is to have some fun and highlight the fantastic efforts made by all these great companies.
? Read on to discover some great mind maps and check out the people that produced them.
? There are no losers here – every company below proudly and successfully took The Challenge!
We challenge all mind mapping software producers proud of their product to send us a special mind map to celebrate the coming year.
Participants are totally free to choose the style and subject of their map. This is a great opportunity for them to share the philosophy and personality of their company and try to tempt us to find out more!
Our objective is to honour and promote all the proactive companies which participate with enthusiasm and originality. They have put a lot of passion and hard work into a topic which is dear to our hearts. We want to give them the chance to get some well deserved independent recognition for their efforts.
They also have 100 words to describe their map or their approach clearly and succinctly.
Finally, we ask for a fun Tweetable (⬅️ Try me!) – a short inspirational post of 140 characters max. which we (and our readers) can share with the world on their behalf!
Little Note: Mind mapping is supposed to unleash creativity and facilitate innovative thinking and problem solving. So if anyone should exhibit these qualities, it should be the mind mapping software companies themselves!
We are hoping, therefore, to get some great entries and are looking forward to helping get the word out to promote mind mapping in general and make all of us happy in the coming year!
If you are one of The World’s Best Mind Mapping Software Companies then Welcome – you are in the right place ?
Read the instructions below then contact us here to chat about it and get more information if you need it.
Your mind map should:
? Be self-contained and self-explanatory
? Exploit the format fully to get its message across
? Preferably be of interest to a fairly wide audience
? Highlight the strong points of your software or approach
? Shine a spotlight on your brilliance!
Please supply us with the highest quality jpg or png possible – it’s gotta look good at 1000 px wide and bigger – we’ll do the rest.
As you can see below, we offer a true showcase for your work, whilst still putting you on an equal footing with your competitors.
By appearing on this page the explicit implication is that you ARE among the very best mind mapping software producers out there, which can only be a good thing!
We even provide a special URL where visitors arrive directly on your tab (see below), from where potential customers can click directly over to your site without even looking at your competitors, if they like what they see!
We believe very much in the ‘human’ side of mind mapping so we would be delighted to see the personal side of your product and company shine through. Imagination, creativity and enthusiasm in this challenge will be greatly appreciated 
Mind Map Mad is an independent mind map training web site run by Paris-based mind mapper Sab Will.
Sab is very active in the professional creativity and innovation sphere. His aim is to encourage the use of visual tools and original techniques to help companies, students and individuals to make the most of their minds, wherever they are.
We believe in proactive, positive synergy between enthusiastic parties, so if that sounds good to you, welcome to the club!
And if YOUR company DOES produce some of the best mind mapping software in the world but ISN’T in the above list yet, why on earth not!
We’re waiting for your marvelous map and can’t wait to see it!
Now check out the great maps below and show these companies some love… thanks for playing!

With the latest in the Star Wars movie franchise zapping records and seriously threatening Titanic and even Avatar in the all-time lists, the iMindQ team couldn’t resist showing their colours! And what a marvelous creation they’ve offered us for the first World’s Best Mind Mapping Software Challenge!
Instead of producing a mind map literally describing their software, they’ve decided to simply have some fun showing us graphically what you can do with it.
As fervent fans of fun creations we’re giving this one the thumbs up here at Mind Map Mad Mission Control! ?
iMindQ’s Mind Map In Their Own (100) Words:
This iMindQ mind map shows the creative side of our team’s Star Wars fandom. All of the Star Wars movies recapped into one mind map universe, made with iMindQ.
The virtual whiteboard space of iMindQ gives freedom to visually organize and present ideas, efficiently solve problems, and manage information overload using mind maps, concept maps and flowcharts.
Users creating mind maps with iMindQ enjoy the unique one-click presentation, the research panel and the interactive HTML mind maps, that can be viewed within any browser.

This is getting interesting! Rather than try to present all the features of their mind mapping software in one map, or choosing a topic unrelated to the program itself, the folks from ConceptDraw have focused on one particular aspect of their product, which they are clearly rather pleased about!
That ‘aspect’ is the tight integration between ConceptDraw MINDMAP and Evernote, the highly popular clipping and organising / archiving utility.
I myself have just started using Evernote, as it came integrated with Windows 10 on my new PC and I’m already finding it useful. So any applicatioins which make it easy to get stuff into Evernote seamlessly, with lots of options as to exactly what you’re saving like in ConceptDraw MINDMAP, sounds good to me!
ConceptDraw Mind Map In Their Own (100) Words:
Whatever your task, ConceptDraw MINDMAP makes gathering and incorporating information into maps, updating maps, and sharing maps, quick, easy, and effective.
ConceptDraw MindMap lets you take freeform data – everything from all of your data structure, to tackling problems with a product, to the topics you plan to introduce on lection or presentation – and organize that information to help you brainstorm and better plan for, prepare for, and manage large or small projects.
Program has a round-trip import export with MS Word, plus it perfectly handles with pictures.
ConceptDraw MINDMAP supports the creation of multiple outputs from a single map with one click, making it possible to choose the specific document type that is appropriate for an audience, situation, or task.
All ConceptDraw products are tightly integrated so time wasted switching from one tool to another is eliminated.

Mind Map Mad says:
We were extremely impressed with the simplicity – purity almost – exhibited in this crystal-clear mind map from the MindMeister team.
No-one is obliged to enter a mind map explicitly about themselves, indeed we love it when they don’t(!), but if they do choose do go down the purely self-promotional route, they couldn’t do it much better than what we see here.
And… could it be just a coincidence that… they’ve used Mind Map Mad‘s signature colours – blue and pink – in their map? Oh yes, of course it is, silly us – those are their key colours too… ?
MindMeister’s Mind Map In Their Own (100) Words:
This mind map is all about MindMeister, the market-leading collaborative online mind mapping software solution.
Unlike traditional mind mapping tools, MindMeister allows for real-time brainstorming sessions between an unlimited number of users and requires only a standard web browser.
Finished maps can quickly be turned into slideshows and presented directly within the website, or exported to MindMeister’s companion app MeisterTask, where they are turned into agile projects. Native mobile apps for iOS as well as Android devices offer users access to their maps wherever they are.

MindGenius has been going for 15 years now and has established a solid user base who appreciate its brainstorming capabilities and its Microsoft Office integration.
I wasn’t familiar with it before inviting them to take part in the World’s Best Mind Mapping Software Challenge, and I’m happy to add this powerful mind mapping solution to my ever-growing knowledge bank – thanks for taking part guys! ?
