About PechaKucha Nights:
Devised in Tokyo in 2003, PechaKucha Nights are now taking place in over 500 cities around the world. Drawing their name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat," PechaKucha Nights are based on a simple presentation format: speakers present 20 slides each, for only 20 seconds per slide. It's a format that makes presentations concise and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
PechaKucha Nights in Calgary are hosted by Calgary Arts Development and sponsored by East Village.
