PechaKucha Night in Chicago
John Hill
16. June 2014
In less than ten days thousands of architects will converge upon Chicago for the 2014 AIA National Convention, being held at McCormick Place. But the real fun will take place on the North Side at PechaKucha Night on June 26.
Taking place at Martyrs' (3855 N Lincoln Ave) on Thursday evening from 7pm until 10pm, the PechaKucha Night is one of the special "Design + Dining" events being held in conjunction with the convention. The event is being presented by AIA Chicago and SOM.
For those not versed in the PechaKucha format, speakers assemble 20 slides and are given only 20 seconds per slide, adding up to just shy of 7 minutes per speaker. The time limit makes for presentations that are anything but long-winded. And of course they're fun.
The speakers can be seen below, in our Agenda page, and on the PeckaKucha website, which has instructions on how to obtain tickets for those attending the AIA National Convention.
