PechaKucha Night
Quarterly Creative Event Series with 6 minute talks
Included for Members
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", PechaKucha rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It grew into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide.
The Civic Design Center is the PechaKucha host in Nashville. We set a theme for each volume then recruit experts and enthusiasts related to the them. All community members are invited to present, host or sponsor PechaKucha Nights in Nashville. Get in touch with us if you are interested!
