Pecha Kucha is a Japanese (chit-chat) style presentation that uses 20 slides that are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total). Pecha Kucha Nights (PNKs) are common in multiple cities since 2003. Because of the short time limit more presentations can be covered in a controlled time.
Because of its fast pace, Pecha Kucha is popular with presentations from business to art. The main idea is to let the slide show the tip of the iceberg while the narrator explains what is beneath the surface.
- Images are key to Pecha Kucha. Try to find images that express either metaphors or key points clearly and effectively.
- Try to have little to no words on the slide as the audience will not have enough time to listen to you and read in 20 seconds.
- Practice your presentation over and over to get the timing correct.
- Aim for two key points for each slide to keep on track.
- If you do not have enough time for a point you can make minor changes to the next slide to keep on track.
- Try not to pause between each slide.
