Pecha Kucha Night #42: The Living City

presented by
Pecha Kucha Night in partnership with In partnership with LobbyFest, The GRAND, Beakerhead and RocketHouse.

PechaKucha Calgary kicks off our 2023-24 season on Thursday, September 14 with "The Living City."

Ten new speakers will take to the stage to share their views on the central theme. What is a city? What is this city? Is it a living organism?

As always, each speaker will prepare 20 slides which auto-advance every 20 seconds giving them a total of 400 seconds to express their point. If you're new to PechaKucha, this speaker series is fun, fast-paced and filled with lots of great people and ideas.

Speakers and our Emcee will be announced in the coming days.
