TechaKucha

2nd February 2011 - Springboard, 1st Floor, Ron Cooke Hub, Heslington East Campus, York University
Techa Kucha is about encouraging people within the IT, Digital, Technology and Innovation sectors to actively talk about their interests and passions and work with a range of people and businesses.

 

PechaKucha was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 for young designers to meet, network and show their work in public.  It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the globe, inspiring creatives worldwide.  Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

 

We’ve substituted the ‘P’ for a ‘T’ to give all you techies out there a shot at presenting 20 slides for 20 seconds.  The idea is that there will be a variety of these presentations at each event - along with drinks and food. It will be a great opportunity to meet likeminded people in an informal environment.
