We were approached by the event organisers [for the first of what we hope will be many entertaining and insightful nights in Sheffield] to design and develop an e-shot to mail out across the City raising both the awareness in the media and generating attendees and audience for the night. Needless to say it worked a treat and the event has been oversubscribed! So a big thanks to everyone involved helping to make this work at The Chimney House.
Pecha Kucha, meaning ‘chit chat’ in Japanese is an event phenomenon bringing creative worlds and talents together. Currently running in over 300 countries worldwide, the event was first started in Japan 2003 by the architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham. Recognising that given the opportunity to present, most architects, designers and creative types cannot stick to a prescribed time, they developed their 20×20 format. Each presenter is given 20 seconds per slide and just 20 slides to present or showcase their work. They are not in control of their presentation so cannot go back and forth! This makes for a unique, dynamic presentation, guaranteeing entertainment and a less formal atmosphere.
