And the race is on…

Pecha Kucha is a presentation format in which a presenter presents 20 slides for 20 seconds apiece, within a fixed time period of 6 minutes, 40 seconds.
This format was created in 2003 by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo’s Klein-Dytham Architecture, who wanted to give young designers a place to meet, network, and show their work. They devised a format that kept presentations very concise in order to keep the audience’s attention and increase the number of presenters within the course of one night. They took the name “Pecha Kucha” from a Japanese term for the sound of conversation.
Since its development, Pecha Kucha has soared in popularity, with coverage in Bloomberg, Wired Magazine and recently on the Presentation Zen blog.
On Thursday, July 30, 2009, I will be attending and reporting on my first Pecha Kucha event in San Francisco.
Stay tuned for my in depth analysis of this form of presenting that has swept across the world.
