Pecha Kucha Night returns with fresh offerings
After a triumphant return following a four-year hiatus last autumn, Pecha Kucha Night is returning to Bristol with a fresh lineup of eight distinguished speakers.
Pecha Kucha is a unique presentation format where speakers condense complex topics into a rapid-fire slideshow.
Each presentation consists of 20 slides, with each slide shown for 20 seconds, resulting in a 6-minute and 40-second presentation.
The format, which loosely translates from Japanese as “chit-chat,” was created in Tokyo in 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham.

Since then, Pecha Kucha has gained popularity, particularly in corporate environments where time is limited for lengthy presentations.
The upcoming Pecha Kucha Night in Bristol will focus on the theme of “chaos,” featuring eminent speakers such as Peter Lord, co-founder of Aardman Studios, Rosie Risdale, a renowned music photographer, and Ito Yamaguchi, a Japanese architect and designer.
