Pecha Kucha presentations were created in Tokyo in 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and
Mark Dytham. They introduced it as a platform for young designers to come together, showcase
their work, and exchange ideas through brief presentations. The core principle behind Pecha Kucha
was to "talk less, show more," Since then, its popularity has gone beyond the design field,
becoming a worldwide phenomenon These presentations are now used in many different settings
ranging from academic conferences to business meetings and even informal gatherings.
There is a whole community dedicated to Pecha Kucha, who get together and organize "Pecha
Kucha Nights."
