pecha kucha

Tokyo, 2010.01.27

Tonight I attended my first Pecha Kucha. I don't know what the name means, but it was an interesting night

Pecha Kucha is an event in which some invited speakers get up and present 20 slides on a given topic. They get 20 seconds to speak on each slide, yielding a total of about 6:40. They are then ushered off the floor and the next guest arrives. Though it started here in Tokyo it's now being done in cities from Edmonton to Kampala in Uganda.

Jon and I came away from the thing thinking of presentations we might do based on all of the work we've done for the Caritas project. I'm thinking that a talk on creating our product photos might be a good start if we actually go through with it.
