A PECHA KUCHA NIGHT gathering was held on Wednesday night, March 25, at the famous Park Lane club at the top of the Avenue in Göteborg (or Gothenburg) Sweden.
Pecha Kucha Night, was started in 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, is a gathering for young designers and other creative entrepreneurs to meet, network, and show their work in public.

DURING a Pecha Kucha Night each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each - giving six minutes and 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentation concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show. The speakers at the Göteborg Pecha Kucha Night were Hanna Brotén & Jessica Nilsson - Bittra Britta; composer Paula af Malmborg Ward; dancer & choreographer Veera Suvalo Grimberg; artist & skateboard producer Mattias Norström; designer Fredrik Färg; Yukimi Nagano & Ann-Louise Landelius; Skambyrån (www.skambyran.se); designer Dan Henriksson; architect Torsten Ottesjö; architect firm Kjellgren & Kaminsky; ANTI design agency from Oslo; photographer Klara Källström; Anton Romanus, Vetenskapsfestivalen; and Bokpuffen.net. DJ after the presentation was Alex Berg.

PECHA KUCHA, which is Japanese for the sound of conversation, has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or schmooze magazine editors. This is a demand that seems to be global. The Pecha Kucha night has spread virtually to over 100 cities across the world. For information contact www.pecha-kucha.org.
