PechaKucha is a simple presentation format where you show 20 slides that display for 20 seconds each, so that the presenter has only 6 minutes and 40 seconds in all for his/her presentation.
The name comes from a Japanese term meaning “chatter”. The basic idea is to force the presenter to speak concisely, precisely and clearly by using mainly images.
For this reason, PechaKucha is a great format for presentations at schools or for meetings in offices, in those occasions where conciseness is particularly important.
If you want some tips to realize your personal PechaKucha, read more on http://bit.ly/1cBv9QD or just visit the PechaKucha official site.
