  • Columbus OH USA Event: Pecha Kucha on February 11, 2010

    For those of you in Columbus Ohio, I’ll be speaking about my personal experience of starting (what led me to it) and running Little and LOUD.  For more information about the event, go to: : http://uas.osu.edu/program/pecha-kucha-columbus.

    If you have never been to a Pecha Kucha event, it is quite a fun and thought provoking experience and we recommend you going to one where you are as they are held all around the country.  Pecha Kucha talks have a 20×20 format.  That is, 20 slides at 20 seconds each to keep even the most fidgety audiences’ attention. I went to one a few months ago and I found the whole event to be amusing, inspiring and interesting. So if you are in the area, come on down!
