Pecha Kucha & r2ak

In 2019, team member Jen was invited to present at the Penticton Pecha Kucha. Known for its 20-slide-20-second format, this storytelling evening is always  sellout event. The Pecha Kucha model, first developed among Architecture & Design students in Japan, has been popularized around the world with over 1200 communities regularly coming together to hear talks that each last 6 minutes  40 seconds. It' a snappy design constraint that forces the presenter to choose impactful images to accent their topic. Every 20 seconds the slides auto-advance - so there's no ability to dawdle.

This week we were thrilled to learn that this presentation of Jen's, delivered 3 years go, was selected as one of the featured talks and shared to Pecha Kucha fans around the world.

It's timely, as we prepare for our latest campaign. And it's  fun walk down memory lane to hear her first hand telling of being a first timer to R2AK and a novice sailor. Enjoy!
