PechaKucha night Indianapolis

Creative presenters compete for your attention as they proffer Food for Thought concepts for our community in this fast-paced event. The quick-fire format (20 slides in 20 seconds each), the presentations by local innovators, and the well-stocked bar combine to create a rock show of ideas. A portion of your ticket price will be given as a prize to one of the contenders through an audience choice award. Presented by Pecha Kucha Indianapolis and Big Car. Questions?

Embracing Chain City

FAIR Gardens

You art what you eat
Tom Streit
