If you're trying to describe us, this is what we say!
Established in 2009, PechaKucha Night Dayton is a free quarterly idea-sharing party and networking event for adults.
PechaKucha is a fast-paced style of presenting using 20 slides discussed for 20 seconds each (20x20). This presentation format allows speakers to share their passions in a succinct format, telling their stories in their own voices, with unique visuals leading the way.

This creative outlet began as nighttime get-togethers in Tokyo in 2003 by two renowned architects. Since then, three million people have attended PechaKucha events worldwide. Dayton is one of over 1,200 official PK cities.

PK Dayton is a volunteer-run event by local organizers Shayna, Mike, Ron, Meg, Sean, and Sarah.
