Call for Entries - Pecha Kucha Night Detroit


Twenty slides. Twenty seconds each.

Pecha Kucha Night crosses the corporate
PowerPoint presentation with speed dating.
Each presenter displays 20 slides for 20 seconds each;
you get six minutes and 40 seconds to perk interest.

The international phenomenon was developed in 2003 by two Tokyo-based architects.
The event provides a forum for creatives to meet, network and showcase their work.
Through word of mouth and the Internet, Pecha Kucha (which refers to the sound of conversation in Japanese and is pronounced “peh-chak-cha”) has spread virally to 132 cities worldwide.

Detroit jumped aboard last fall.

The quarterly event is organized by the Emerging Professionals Committee of the American Institute of Architects Detroit chapter and Detroit Synergy, a nonprofit group that organizes events to promote the city. Detroit Make it Here is the official media sponsor.

Anyone interested in sampling what is happening in Detroit’s creative scene is welcome to attend Pecha Kucha Night: Detroit Volume 4, on May 22 at
Detroit Institute of Arts.
Tickets are $8 for nonmembers.

Organizers will select 12 compelling presenters, usually from creative fields such as design, architecture, photography and art. The event normally attracts 250 guests.

Detroit Make it Here will post presentations and presenter profiles after every event.
