Pecha Kucha comes to Milwaukee
Hello Visitor,
PECHA KUCHA COMES TO MILWAUKEE!
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 8:00 PM Hi Hat Garage 1701 N. Arlington Milwaukee $10 Register at: www.800ceoread.com/pechakucha1
800-CEO-READ is pleased to present Pecha Kucha in Milwaukee at the newly remodeled Hi Hat Garage on June 17, 2008 at 8:00 PM. On this night, nine people will take turns presenting their ideas through a unique presentation format using 20 slides that automatically change every 20 seconds. Pecha Kucha is an opportunity for people to discover the ideas of fellow community members and experience a new form of creative presentation that utilizes images, sound, and words within the restrictions of the “20 x 20” format.
An international sensation, Pecha Kucha presentations have included mothers talking about their children, designers discussing architecture, musicians examining life on the road, and mayors commenting on their cities. The presentations are provocative, while the event is relaxed, including a “beer break,” where the presenters and the audience meet and discuss topics further over the beverage of their choice.
Pecha Kucha (Japanese for “the sound of conversation”) was conceived in 2003 by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture in Tokyo as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It is now held in over 100 cities around the world. Join us for the first in an ongoing series of Pecha Kucha in Milwaukee!
