It’s Pecha Kucha time again? PKNP Vol. 8 will feature talks by game-changers from the Fourth Wall Arts Salon, Technically Philly, Independents Hall, the Onion Philadelphia, Bluecadet design studio, Science Leadaership Academy, Phioladelphia SiteNite, PatientsLikeMe, music educator Leslie Poprick, and more.

What’s Pecha Kucha? It’s rapidfire creative show-and-tell governed by a simple rule: show 20 PowerPoint slides, talk about each one for 20 seconds. (It’s also the Japanese word for the sound of conversation.) Wired magazine called Pecha Kucha: “Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit the hell down.” We call it an evening of fun, sociability, and a little learning thrown in. Devised by Tokyo architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, Pecha Kucha (say peh-CHAK-cha) events have been held in more than 200 cities.
