Pecha Kucha (Japanese for "the sound of conversation"), devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 in Tokyo as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has now grown to involve everyone from pizza delivery drivers to executives to celebrities, and is held in over 100 cities around the world.
