PIECE OF PECHA KUCHA, ANYONE?

23.05.2011

PIECE OF CAKE are proud to announce that we are now co-hosts of Hamburg’s Pecha Kucha Night. We have teamed up with Simon Scholz (Hamburger Botschaft), Pete Serjeant (G2) and Matthias Weber (Checkdisout). Together we have formed a committee that will run this very sympathetic and connective global platform in Hamburg with immediate effect.

And, seeing there is no sleep for the wicked, the first Pecha Kucha Night under new guidance is already in the making scheduled for Thursday, 23rd June at the trusted location Hamburger Botschaft. As usual, we kick off at 20.20 pm.

So, if you have something interesting you would like to present in 6.40 minutes (20 slides, 20 seconds each), a project, a vision, an idea, a cause or whatever makes you tick and you have something to say to a thankful and supportive audience, then why not send us a mail via the website.

Sadly, Frederik Herr, who introduced the platform to Hamburg in 2007 and has been promoting and hosting it ever since has had to retire due to other superior commitments. His heirs would like to thank him for his endeavour as well as the excellent pioneer groundwork in establishing Pecha Kucha as one of Hamburg’s most relevant and appreciated networking gatherings for creatives. Hopefully we can live up to the standards he has set!

Not to forget a big up to Jean Snow, the executive director of Pecha Kucha, for supporting the transition in stewardship.

So, here’s to Pecha Kucha, here’s to you, Freddy, and you Jean. And to all you others out there: BRING IT ON!
