Sort of a Powerpoint haiku, a pecha kucha (Japanese for chit-chat) is a presentation that shows 20 slides at 20 seconds each; the whole story is told in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. European designers Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein started the global phenomenon in 2003 and Daniel Pink popularized it in a Wired article last year.
My first pecha kucha, this talk was delivered live at the annual SISO conference on conferences and events. (I left the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown for verisimilitude.) -- JP
