Pecha Kucha

Pecha Kucha Night was devised in 2003 by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo's Klein-Dytham Architecture
(KDa), as a way to attract people to Super Deluxe, their experimental event space in Roppongi.[1]
Pecha Kucha Night events consist of around a dozen presentations, each presenter having 20 slides,
each shown for 20 seconds.
Each presenter has just 6 minutes 40 seconds to explain their ideas before the next presenter takes the stage.
Conceived as a venue through which young designers could meet, show their work, exchange ideas, and network,
the format keeps presentations concise, fast-paced and entertaining.
