About

Connecting People Through Stories

PechaKucha is a global platform that brings people together — both online and in person — to share ideas, inspire creativity, and celebrate human connection.

At our events, individuals from all walks of life present their passions, projects, and stories in a unique visual format designed to be concise, engaging, and memorable.

We believe in authentic, inclusive storytelling that builds community, fosters creativity, and sparks conversation.


What is a PechaKucha 20x20?

Each PechaKucha presentation follows the signature 20x20 format: 20 images, each shown for exactly 20 seconds, auto-advancing as the speaker shares their story.

The result? A fast-paced, energizing 400-second presentation where visuals and words work together to captivate the audience.

PechaKucha was founded in Tokyo in 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, and has since grown into a vibrant global movement.


The word “PechaKucha” is Japanese for “chit chat” — the spirit behind every event we host.

PechaKucha #69 Come in out the cold
"I loved the authenticity of the stories ... which means that one must be so vulnerable to go on that stage and to share with others some of your deepest things in life. I loved that it was a raw unfiltered version of stories. It makes others also want to share and give hope to people who have gone and are going through similar challenges. Absolutely fresh approach to storytelling...just heartfelt and I will definitely go again ... and might even participate. "

PK #65 Time to Thrive
"I’m curious about who made it to Lion’s Head at 5:55 this morning! I wonder if the bird perched on my washing line managed to catch a delicious bug. How often does the cable car operate throughout the day? Is there a BDSM gathering taking place in my village at this moment? After an intriguing evening at @Pechakucha#65, I find myself filled with questions. I appreciated the 20x20 format; I prefer not to hear someone go on and on. The venue is amazing, plus it offers convenient and secure parking. Can't wait for the next one. "
