Downtown Mansfield, Inc. (DMI) will hold the third PechaKucha Night in Mansfield on Friday, May 2, 2014. This third installment of the PechaKucha Night Series will take place at The Fitness Factory, 67 North Main Street in downtown Mansfield.

The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with refreshments and networking and presentations will begin at 6:15 p.m.

PechaKucha 20×20 is a simple presentation format in which presenters show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. Images will automatically advance as the presenter speaks.

The presentation format was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture.

The first PechaKucha Night was held in Tokyo in their gallery/lounge/bar/club/creative kitchen, Super Deluxe, in February 2003. Klein Dytham architecture still organize and support the global PechaKucha Night network and organize PechaKucha Night Tokyo.

Why would Downtown Mansfield, Inc. host a PechaKucha Series? Because traditional presentations in standard PowerPoint format are lengthy and often, the audience might lose interest. Presentations can span any variety of topics, community development plans, special projects, product ideas or anything one is passionate about and would like to share with the community.

Currently, DMI is looking for presenters, please contact DMI at 419-522-0099 or mansfieldpkn@gmail.com for additional information or to discuss your topic. Technology to showcase your presentation.
