What IS Pecha Kucha Night?

Pecha Kucha is "the sound of conversation" in Japanese. Devised by Astrid Klein 
and Mark Dytham in 2003, it began as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show 
their work in public. It has evolved since then and has become a terrific venue for getting 
ideas and concepts out. Presenters each have 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide to discuss. 
Slides are automatically timed to be exactly 20 seconds with the total time for each 
presenter is 6 minutes and 40 seconds. This keeps the pace fun & exciting. Learn more 
about the format at www.pecha-kucha.org.

We'll have time for a maximum of 10 total presenters.
To sign up to be a presenter call 919-533-5181 or email tryjaime AT gmail.com
