Pecha Kucha Night

Join up-and-coming movers and shakers in the Bay Area's education, art, and design scene as they share their insights on how they are creating outside the lines and what they've learned along the way. Speakers will present 20 slides (20 seconds per slide) in Pecha Kucha's world-famous, rapid-fire format that'll leave your mind racing and creative juices flowing. PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
