ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
Pecha Kucha returned to IDS for a third year as the closing event of IDS Trade Day, with a diverse roster of presenters from the fields of fashion, design, media and the arts. Derived from a Japanese term for the sound of conversation ("chit-chat”), Pecha Kucha is an exciting, fast-paced presentation. Presenters had a brief 6 minutes and 40 seconds to showcase their projects, ideas and creative design concepts as inspired by the theme “ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE”. Pecha Kucha Night started in Japan in 2003 and now occurs in over 230 locations globally.
