PechaKucha Night in Ottawa

Here's another interesting event that's coming to Ottawa : PechaKucha Night. PechaKucha Night was born in Tokyo in 2003. It was created as an event for young designers to meet network, and show their work in public. The presentations are formated in a very interesting way, called PechaKucha 20x20, each presenter shows 20 images for 20 seconds each and talks along to the images. This concept spread internationally all the way to Ottawa earlier this year, where the first PechaKucha night was held. (I wish I had known about it then!) Looks like it was quite successful night.





Fortunately, there will be another one at the end of the month. I'll definitely have to go check it out :). I Here's an example of a very interesting presentation from Gary Chen in Tokyo the evolution of the design of his apartment.
