Pecha Kucha Tromsø

In one month from now, March 6, the first Pecha Kucha Night in Tromsø will take place!

Pecha Kucha has spread globally from Tokyo where it was first launched by Klein Dytham architecture as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.

The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system where each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.

To know more about it see www.pecha-kucha.org (where you can sign up to receive news, or to do a presentation at one PKN), order the beautiful 20x20 book, or win it in today's competition at dezeen - or simply join us at Kjeller5 Thursday March 6 and find out!

A local platform for a world of creativity!
