Speed presentations: Pecha Kucha
Posted: January 5, 2013 Filed under: 2013 ArRLIS/NA Conference Pasadena, Technology | Tags: Emerging Technology, pecha kucha, presentations Comments Off on Speed presentations: Pecha KuchaWhat is Pecha Kucha?
No, it’s not what your grandmother called you as a child.
It’s a rapid-fire, image-based presentation format. Presenters have 20 images up for 20 seconds each, for a 6 minute and 40 second presentation. Started in 2006 in Japan as a way to showcase architects’ portfolios, it has spread worldwide.
This year, at the Emerging Technologies Panel at the ArLiS/NA 2013 conference in Pasadena, seven presenters will give Pecha Kutcha-style presentations. This format has been used at the Society of American Archivist 2012 and will be used for the upcoming Society of Architectural Historians conference.
