PechaKucha #42

About this event

Doors at 7:00 PM/ Program begins at 8:20 PM Don’t miss this incredible night of creative storytelling featuring leading Austin-based architects, designers, musicians, writers, and artists at The Baker School (aka Baker Center). PechaKucha, which roughly translates to “chit-chat” in Japanese, is a creative speaking event that originated in Tokyo in 2003. The unique format, a kind of speed-dating version of a TED Talk, invites 10 guest speakers to each develop a presentation on a creative topic within the strict parameters of 20 slides (image slots) and 20 seconds per slide. The slides are set on a timer out of the control of the presenters, so the cumulative effect of 10 short presentations, just over six minutes each, leads to a fast and furious evening of entertainment and creative inspiration. PechaKucha is presented in collaboration with Design Austin and DJ Stout, Austin-based graphic designer, Pentagram Partner, Principal of Pentagram’s Austin office, and Co-Director of PechaKucha Austin. Thank you our sponsors Pentagram, The Press Room, Purpose PR, Austin BeerWorks, and Rambler. 1 Travis O.
