Welcome to Pecha Kucha Night Cleveland!
For anyone that was able to make PechaKucha Night Cleveland - Volume 1 at the end of July, THANK YOU for coming out! If you were not able to make it and would like to see pictures from the event, please feel free to check out the pictures on the main PechaKucha Night Cleveland website -
www.pecha-kucha.org/cities/cleveland or on Flickr (search for pkncleveland). We were thrilled with the crowd of over 300 and hope to see everyone again in a couple weeks!
On Friday February 6th, 2009, PechaKucha Night Cleveland will be taking over the Cambridge Room at the House of Blues. Space will be tight so be sure to come early and enjoy a few beverages prior to being inspired, influenced, confused, provoked, and probably slightly intoxicated by the wonderfully variegated topic mix. The doors (and of course the bar) will open at 19:00 (7:00pm) with presentations starting promptly at 20:20 (8:20PM). You can see the current list of presenters at
www.pecha-kucha.org/cities/cleveland/2. PechaKucha Night Cleveland – Volume 2 is free and open to the public (no tickets required).
As many of you know, this presentation event includes 14 speakers; each speaker gets 20 slides for 20 seconds per slide to discuss their work, ideas, and obsessions. Hopefully through these creative show and tells we will be able to break down any barriers between the different design communities, expose new talent and ideas, provide a new perspective on established talent, foster profitable collaborations amongst the presenters and audience members, and provide the community one more ridiculously interesting reason to continue creating.
If you are interesting in presenting at a future PechaKucha Night Cleveland, have an idea for a venue, or have questions about PechaKucha Night, please contact us - we'd love to hear your ideas!
Cheers, see you in two weeks!
