PechaKucha Origins

PechaKucha began because, well, because people talk too much!

In 2003, YEARNING FOR “More show. Less tell,” architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo’s Klein Dytham architecture invented PechaKucha. The initial purpose: TO STREAMLINE long design presentations. Sessions soon MORPHED into HAPPENINGS: PechaKucha Nights first in Tokyo, then around the world. Today, more than 50,000 people present at 1,100+ global PechaKucha Nights every year. And the number keeps exploding. Today schools and business use PechaKucha to creatively and effectively engage students and employees on a range of subject matters.
