“Pecha Kucha” for Corporate Communicators
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 12:26PM People who know us here at EventExtra will be familiar with our involvement in “London Communicators and Engagement Group”.
A few of you reading may even be familiar with our first “Pecha Kucha” exploration back in 2008.
It is a presentation technique recognised as stemming from the Japanese art movement as a way for artists to describe their projects quickly.
The principle is very simple – 20 slides x 20 seconds per slide. Presentations are never longer than 6m40s. Indeed, at Extra Group, we’ve used a variation of it in numerous client events to help focus presentations on the essentials.
The LCEG is revisiting Pecha Kucha next month to allow people to experience the format.
Special thanks to Katherine Dooley of Burson Marsteller for hosting the event.
Location: Burson-Marsteller, Level 6 South, Central Saint Giles, 1 St Giles High Street, London WC2H 8AG. Map

Time: Arrive at 6.30pm, Tuesday 13th September. 7.00 – 8.00pm main session
