using the Pecha Kucha format, we'll be making a very intriguing

About Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha, literally meaning "chit-chat" in Japanese, is a
grassroots movement started by architects and designers to remedy
long-winded lectures and frivolous presentations. The movement has
spread to cities across the world, including Amsterdam, Beijing,
Berlin, Budapest, Hong Kong, London, Portland, Nagano, Toronto, and
Indianapolis.
The name is hard to pronounce, but the concept is simple. In one
corner, the presenters have only six minutes and forty seconds to
convey their idea in twenty slides. In the other corner, a
well-stocked bar.
And in the middle: you. The two corners will compete for your
attention; get a drink and you've missed what could be the most
influential idea of your career. Pay attention and you'll miss your
third or fourth drink.
Conversation among the audience, especially during timid or dull
presentations, is heavily encouraged. Excited chatter often follows
the best presentations. Pecha Kucha is social networking come to life.
Business presentation, meet rock show. Bullet points, meet fight
club.
