What is PechaKucha Night?
PechaKucha Night was designed by designers Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in 2003 as an event for (you guessed it) designers and creative types of all disciplines to meet, network, and show their work, and play, in public. PechaKucha is now happening in 382 locations around the world. SDAF is pleased to serve as the San Diego’s official host chapter of PechaKucha Night.
PechaKucha is derived from a Japanese term meaning the sound of conversation, or chit-chat. PechaKucha Nights are creative, social and informal. The concept is simple: each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds, giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of floor time and expression before the next presenter is up. Then there’s the 20 “rules”. One of our favorites? PechaKucha Night is about thinking and drinking. It all makes for stimulating, scintillating, succinct and often striking presentations from design, architecture, photography, art and other creative fields. Presentations begin at 20:20. Surprised?
