PechaKucha is a new style of presentation catching<br />
on quickly around the globe where the presenter<br />
shares 20 slides at the rate of 20 seconds per slide<br />
(the entire presentation is complete in 6 minutes and<br />
40 seconds). This fast-paced presentation style will<br />
allow many members to have an opportunity to present<br />
on an area of interest or passion, within or outside of<br />
higher education at their choosing.
