Pecha Kucha Night in Denver!

Pecha Kucha Denver

I attended my first(only) Pecha Kucha Night last year during 100%design in Tokyo. The name means "chit-chat" in Japanese, and is a presentation format that allows people to present their creative projects to an audience by showing 20 slides for 20 seconds each. I was so inspired by the event that I fantasized about bringing it to Denver - and am lucky to have secured an exclusive handshake agreement with the founders to be the local Pecha Kucha Night liason. Luckily I roped Jaime from designklub in from the very beginning, and she was instrumental in securing a dope location and 90% of the speakers. I'm super excited about the lineup, which includes Denver creatives of varied disciplines: architects, graphic designers, writers, planners, artists, and crafters (PLUS my dear friend, Steve!). The platform allows both professionals and casual folks an opportunity to present on the same level, to mingle, network, and get artistic feedback. It's like creative show-and-tell for adults...

Buntport Theater, 717 Lipan Street, Denver CO.
Doors at 8, Program starts at 8:20 pm (as in 20.20)
