Pecha Kucha Night 3

Pecha Kucha, which is translated from the Japanese for the sound of conversation, is a series of 6 presentations put on by a variety of local creatives. Creativers being loosely defined as people who use their personal creativity for their daily work. This can include professionals from all sorts of fields including chiefs, fashion designers, furniture makers, photographers, and even Urban Designers.

Each presentation lasts 6minutes and 40 seconds, a time derived from each presenter being given 20 seconds each for 20 slides. This short, quick paced presentation is an attempt to keep presentations concise and interesting by not giving the presenter time to stray off topic.
