PechaKucha – a Japanese phrase denoting the sound of conversation; chit-chat.Founded in 2003 by architects Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein,
PechaKucha was initially conceived to provide a place and space where young designers could meet, network and show their work in public. Over time, it has evolved into a massive celebration of creativity, with events regularly being held in over 270 cities. Last year, more than 6,000 presentations were given at more than 600 PechaKucha events. [

The format of
PechaKucha is simple. Be creative and do so in a presentation that can be boiled down into 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds.
