Last-minute live interview with Phil Whelan on RTHK Radio about PechaKucha Night!
Time flies when you’re having fun – so much so I didn’t get to explain the signature 20 x 20 format of PechaKucha.

Thank you Caroline and Phil for the invite and coverage!

Listen here on RTHK.

TimeOut HK has featured PechaKucha Night in the “Around Town” section of the magazine.
Out on the newsstands tomorrow!

***Invite & RSVP here***

Under the direction of HK-based design studio ChowPourianLab, PechaKucha Night Hong Kong is heading back to the grassroots spirit of the PechaKucha mothership in Tokyo.

For those of you not yet familiar with PechaKucha (pe-chak-cha), it is a creative networking event which began in Tokyo in 2003.

Now in 473 cities, the presentation format is standard worldwide: 20 images x 20 seconds with live narration. The time limit keeps it concise and fast-moving, a total of 6min 40sec per presentation.

Expect the unexpected! PechaKucha is a deck of wild cards – eclectic, fun and full of surprises. In addition to established professionals, the floor is also open to emerging talent, entrepreneurs and students in a relaxed atmosphere.

The upcoming event is part of PechaKucha Global Cities Week, with a Hong Kong theme.

Be entertained. Be inspired. Be delighted.
Yes.
Be there.
