PechaKucha night Providence

Announcing the 12th night and ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of Pecha Kucha in Providence! The theme, dedicated to the summit in Providence with the same name, and which will be sandwiching Pecha Kucha from March 9-11, is: Connecting Creative Communities.

If you haven't yet heard of this global yet unpronounceable phenomenon, Pecha Kucha is a monthly format for sharing ideas, in which presenters are allotted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. Put simply: 6 minutes and 40 seconds of adult-style show & tell. It began in Tokyo in 2003, has since spread to 280+ cities worldwide, and landed in Providence one year ago in March.

Doors open at 19:20, presentations start at 20:20, and shmoozing goes down throughout.

***Wear your dancing shoes, because after the presentations, we're celebrating our one-year with a dance party to DJ duo Micah Jackson.***
