PechaKucha is a global storytelling movement that celebrates people, passion, and bold ideas.Check out the speakers and book https://jo.my/uolvtn
It is where curious minds gather to share what they love, think differently, and connect fast, visually, and memorably.
This isn’t death by PowerPoint.
It’s ideas with a pulse.
Join us for an evening of rapid fire talks, unexpected inspiration, great food, easy conversation, new friendships, and a lot of fun. Come for the presentations. Stay for the people.
How It Works
The PechaKucha 20 × 20 format is beautifully simple and slightly terrifying.
Each presenter shows 20 images, each displayed for 20 seconds, auto advancing with no pause button. That gives you 6 minutes and 40 seconds to tell a story that matters.
You can’t hide behind slides or filler. You have to know what you want to say, and say it well.
Created in Japan in 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, PechaKucha literally means “chit chat”. What emerged, though, was a powerful antidote to bloated presentations and distracted audiences.
The constraint forces focus.
It strips ideas down to what’s essential.
It is astonishing how much meaning can fit into 400 seconds.
Why People Love It
The atmosphere is relaxed, social, and human.
It is easy to strike up a conversation, especially during the break. Walk up to a speaker and say, “That was fantastic,” and suddenly you are talking shop, ideas, or life.
PechaKucha pulls you into a live experience full of energy, warmth, and real connection.
Speakers share their passions, creativity, obsessions, experiments, failures, and victories. Almost anything goes, as long as it is honest and engaging.
PechaKucha started in Tokyo and has expanded to over 2,000 cities globally, with more than 200,000 presentations given.
Come curious.
Leave inspired.
Expect to see ideas, and people, a little differently when you walk out
