Pecha Kucha: Learning the PK Presentation Method to Maximize PowerPoint Effectiveness
Sponsored by: SLA-CI Division and Aurora WDC Date: Wednesday, Feb. 15th Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST Free Webinar for SLA members and non-members. Space is limited.Program Description: Learning to condense abstract ideas into concrete messages presentable in 400 seconds is a skill not everyone can master immediately. Pecha Kucha is an innovative presentation technique designed to overcome “death by PowerPoint” through placing a design constraint on presenters by limiting the presentation to 20 slides and only 20 seconds per slide. Oh, and they advance automatically. The CI Division of SLA, and sponsor Aurora WDC, is once again hosting a Pro/Am Pecha Kucha Tournament at our Open House at the SLA 2012 Annual Conference.
So, are you wondering what is Pecha Kucha (PK for short)? How can I learn about Pecha Kucha? How can I participate? How can I create a PK presentation? We have the remedy for those questions! Join us at 1 pm EST on Tuesday, Feb. 15th for a free “training webinar”. During the webinar you will hear a panel of experts as they discuss strategies on how to develop and create these presentations.
Panel includes: Dr. Craig Fleisher, Eric Garland, August Jackson, Craig McHenry and Zena Applebaum
