Call for presenters! :: PechaKucha Night C-U Vol. 4

CUDO (Champaign-Urbana Design Org.) and Krannert Center for
the Performing Arts have teamed up to put on a special FREE PechaKucha Night in the perfectly summery setting of the outdoor amphitheatre. We are currently looking for presenters for PechaKucha Night C-U Vol. 4 on Friday, July 30, and for future PechaKucha Nights.

PechaKucha presenters come from a wide range of fields — activists, architects, artists, chefs, coolhunters, critics, designers, dreamers, entrepreneurs, fashionistas, historians, makers, photographers, and scientists, to name a few.

The most important thing about your PK presentation is that you love your subject matter. Though you will have only 6 min. and 40 sec. to deliver your final presentation, an ideal topic is one you could talk about for hours. We look forward to your submissions and delving into your creative brain!

Application deadline for PKN C-U Vol. 4 is June 21.

PechaKucha is an international event where artists, designers, and creative minds come together for a live, high-energy extravaganza. The PechaKucha format, 20 slides in 20 seconds each, allows 8-16 presenters only 6 minutes and 40 seconds each to strut their stuff. This keeps presentations concise and the interest level up.

PechaKucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham Architecture), was conceived in 2003 and has tapped into a demand that has spread virally to over 300 cities globally.
