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.

Doors open at 6pm for socializing and networking at Beer and Dogs in Chauhaus. Chauhaus is a portmanteau of “chow” and “Bauhaus“.

Beer and Dogs – Where the working world has its Friday “five o’clock whistle,” the GSD has its six o’clock beer and dogs. Sponsored by the student chapter of the ASLA, hot dogs, pizza and cold beer are served in the Gund Hall cafeteria. Anticipated equally by both faculty and students, Beer and Dogs is an opportunity for the GSD community to end the week in a social and relaxing environment. And for 1 dollar per hot dog and two bucks a beer, it also makes for an inexpensive dinner.

If you’re a fan of Pecha Kucha Harvard, please join the Facebook group. Please RSVP on the Facebook event. Watch this blog for event updates.

Each speaker presented exactly 20 slides, for 20 seconds each. The slides were automatically advanced with Google Picasa slideshow.
