Pecha Kucha – PowerPoint Geeks

I just got an email announcing Pecha Kucha Night at Mediamatic in Amsterdam. I’m going to be in Brussels that week. Close enough maybe to make it there? I just missed the New York event, being ignorant of the event even being organized. So don’t be like me, check out the schedule of upcoming Pecha Kucha Nights in a city near you. Maybe there is a way to find love for PowerPoint. Maybe.

What is Pecha Kucha?

Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.

Who’s doing it? Architects, artists, designers, generally smart and interesting people. Why should you go? It’s a great networking event, you might meet someone, make a connection, and who knows… you might even have fun.

p.s. I say geeks with all due respect and fondness.
