Hosted by Introba in partnership with the Royal BC Museum, Powered by PechaKucha is a creative evening centered around storytelling, sharing ideas, and thought leadership.

PechaKucha is the art of concise presentations. The concept began in 2003 with a group of Japanese architects who wished to share their creative projects with one another without having to sit through long, rambling lectures. Each PechaKucha presentation is led by a storyteller who provides 20 visual images, shown for 20 seconds each, altogether creating a six-minute and forty-second story. In a Pecha Kucha night, multiple storytellers are gathered around a central theme and showcased in one powerful evening.

We invite you to join us in celebrating innovation, collaboration, and interdisciplinary approaches to design. See you there!
