ABOUT PECHA KUCHA - http://www.pecha-kucha.org/

Pecha Kucha (the Japanese for the sound of conversation) gathers creative individuals to share their work and ideas in an informal environment. Pecha Kucha Night was conceived in 2003 by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (from Klein Dytham architecture, in Tokyo), as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to showcase their ideas, visions, work/areas of curiosity. Pecha Kucha Night is non profit and is now running in 180 cities around the world. Pecha Kucha Night is for CONTENT and not profit. As always - thank you for your amazing support
