More about it:

Pecha Kucha (pronounced peh-chak-cha) was started in Tokyo, Japan in 2003 by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham Architecture. Presenters will give a slideshow of 20 images, each shown for only 20 seconds - giving a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds.

The result is a high-energy creative showcase where creative people talk about…creative things! Or some say ‘a happy crossbreed between an elevator pitch and a slide show’.

The brief the presenters are given is no brief! They can talk about any subject of choice, as long as they keep to the time and format. With an audience made up mostly from the creative and design fields, Pecha Kucha Nights are great networking experiences, only more fun. There will be music and beer on hand and simulating conversations to boot! So see you there.

Also, British Council is hosting their third Pecha Kucha Night, bringing together creative minds to talk about equally creative things. Blastique will be spinning and there will be presentations by people like Munkao, Pop Malaya, Creative United Movement, Ridwan Kamil and Simon Keogh. Chekkitout. Definitely something to do and see on a Saturday night.
