love, love, love

Happy people filled the old ice cellar, Kjeller5, as the first Pecha Kucha Night Tromsø ever took place. Beautiful, creative presentors gave their best, music and ambiance was added by the mighty mega benoni, beer war supplied by Mack and Ølhallen and the crowd added a lot of positivity and enthusiasm to it - a success we believe!
This was made possible by a wonderful collaboration with the tank heroes, lovely Mack people, Dr M of course, sweet PKN + KDa Tokyo collaborators, Luxo and a bunch of other supportive great people.
See you all soon again!
