PechaKucha night San Jose, CA

UPDATE: Confirmed: Michael Moon will be presenting "The Perils of Reflection". He adds "it’s likely to be perilous." We're very excited to have Michael on the team!

The theme for the first PKSJ event is REFLECTION.

Pecha Kucha themes set a tone but should not dictate a content barrier for presenters. Arguably an association with the theme is preferred, and probably expected by the audience.
