Pecha Kucha

Pecha-what?

PechaKucha (Japanese for “chit chat”) is a lively presentation style where each presenter shows 20 slides for 20 seconds each. The slides advance automatically, creating a 6 minute and 40 second story that’s quick, visual, and engaging. No long lectures. No rambling. Just creative people sharing meaningful work in a fun, accessible way.

Come be inspired, meet your creative neighbors, and celebrate the passion behind the projects.


CALL FOR PRESENTERS!
PECHAKUCHA NIGHT AT JUMP

Join us for an evening of fast-paced, heartfelt storytelling at JUMP’s next PechaKucha Night.

The theme will be “The Shift: A Time I Changed My Mind.” PECHA-WHAT? PechaKucha (Japanese for “chit chat”) is a dynamic presentation format: 20 slides × 20 seconds each = 6 minutes and 40 seconds of creative storytelling. It’s concise, visual, and powerful — a great way to share what you love most.
