20x20 what is it?

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.  It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

Combine this with Spark Club, an emerging network in North Texas of social entrepreneurs, and we have a slate of presenters that are shaking things up a bit. Please join us for PKN2 Dallas at Sons of Hermann Hall.  Cash bar and $5 suggested donation.

Chris Zielke and Chris Jeffers of 48 Nights.
