Pecha Kucha Nights

A Creative Network Event

By NDW Team on 3rd November 2015

Pecha Kucha Nights is a network event for creatives, taking place in over 800 cities all over the world.  The mission is to inspire, uplift and entertain different audiences. The concept is simple, each creative get to show 20 pictures, showing each picture for 20 seconds. The pictures advance automatically and allows the presenter to talk along the pictures. This is a way of sharing ideas, thoughts, work, or pretty much anything. Pecha Kucha Nights hosts fun gatherings where creative people can get together and inspire.
“Pecha Kucha is a global series of live events held worldwide where people can meet, inspire and get inspired, based on a format that is fast-paced and fun”
Previous Pecha Kucha Nights in Nairobi took place on the 20th of February at the National Theater and on the 18th of July at the Foundry. The next Pecha Kucha will take place on Wednesday 18th of November at The Foundry at 6-10 pm and NDW is proud to be the host of this event. We will introduce you to five selected creatives who have prepared pictures specifically for this event, and they are looking forward to sharing their ideas and their work with the audience. In between each presenter there will be a break which will give you a chance to socialize and network with other creative minds.
The presentation format of Pecha Kucha Nights was developed by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham at Klein Dytham Architecture because they felt that architects, and other creatives, could go on for too long talking about their projects. The first Pecha Kucha Night took place in their studio in Tokyo. The 20 x 20 presentation technique has then spread globally and is the perfect platform for creatives to introduce their projects without going on for too long and boring the audience.
