Pecha Kucha Night was devised and shared by Klein Dythan architecture. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for “chitchat,” it was founded in Tokyo in 2003 as a way for designers to meet and share their work in public. More than 500 cities around the world now host PK events. Pecha Kucha Columbus was formed in 2007 and holds four events a year.
