Boost Creativity and Zap Boredom with Pecha Kucha

Pechakucha_night_2

Put Pecha Kucha to Work in Your Meetings!

20 slides for 20 Seconds Each and You're Out of Here!   Slides are mandatory, speaking is not.  I can hear the thunderous and spontaneous applause bursting out at Corporate Bored Rooms Everywhere.

Pecha Kucha (Japanese for “chitchat”) is a modern speaking salon focused on design, fashion, food, and new media. It’s a forum where young thinkers present and swap opinions and ideas — in short but sweet  "food for thought" presentations consisting of 20- (twenty-second slides).  These Creative Salons, originally developed by two Tokyo Based Architects found popularity with individuals involved in the arts,  i.e.photography, art and design but have expanded to include business topics.

Pecha Kucha Salons  can be found in major cities from Brisbane to Atlanta. Check out international listings at:

Or consider sponsoring your own creative-visual chat in your City!   Here'e the quick rules of Pecha-Kucha:.  20 slides, 20 seconds each .  No exceptions.  Topics can range from business, design and emerging trends but no more than two people from the same discipline can speak each night, keeping topical overload to a minimum.

CEO's and Business Managers---Heads Up on this Hot Trend.  Use Pecha Kucha for Team meetings within your company and watch what happens with the help of visual imagery to prompt creativity.  PS:  There's a Bonus:  Goodbye Painful Powerpoints, Hello to the Points that Really Matter.
