Philly Pecha Kucha 2: Kevin Werbach--All I Really Need to Know I Learned in World of Warcraft

Kevin Werbach, assistant professor, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania (http://werbach.com): "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in World of Warcraft

It's the Japanese word for "chit-chat" (say "peh chak cha"). It's also a kind of rapidfire creative show-and-tell governed by a simple rule: you show 20 images; you talk about each one for 20 seconds.


Invented by a pair of architects who wanted to hear about their colleagues' work yet avoid "death by PowerPoint," a Pecha Kucha event features about ten presenters hewing to a strict time limit. Wired magazine calls it: "Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit the hell down." We call it an evening of fun, sociability, and a little larnin' thrown in.

Philly Pecha Kucha is held at Studio 34: Yoga | Healing | Arts (4522 Baltimore Avenue in West Philly, right on SEPTA's Route 34 trolley line).
