Pecha Kucha Nights
Each presenter has only 6 minutes 40 seconds to present their ideas before next presenters takes the stage
the format keeps the presentations short, concise and entertaining
In 2004, PKN began running in a few cities in Europe, now a worldwide phenomenon
Held mostly in fun locations with a bar creating a space for “thinking and drinking”
anyone can present, that’s the beauty of PKN
A good pecha kucha is unexpected, tells a great story,shares something personal, funny, and inspiring
Pecha Kucha is not a social network. It is a live event, with real people, real communication, real beer and real creative fun
