PechaKucha Night Cairns

PechaKucha Night is a presentation format in which stories & passions can be easily and informally shown. The name derives from a Japanese term for the sound of conversation ("chit-chat").

The idea behind PechaKucha is to keep presentaions concise, the interest level up and to have many presenters sharing their ideas within the course of one night. And so the 20X20 PechaKucha format was created: each presenter is allowed a slideshow of 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each. This results in a total presentation time of 6 min & 40 secs on a stage before the next presenter is up. Each event has from 8 to 14 presenters.

Presenters (and much of the audience) are a diverse bunch ranging from lovers of design, architecture, photography, art and creative fields, science, community, land rovers, travel and much more...

PechaKucha nights are held in over 700 cities worldwide!
