The next PechaKucha Night in Orlando is slated for Friday, June 13 at 7pm. If you’ve never been, the night can be summed up as simply a series of speakers, from all walks of life, who are each given 6 minutes and 40 seconds to share a topic of interest to them.

8 to 9 speakers present, for what takes about 75 minutes, and the whole evening is bookended by a happy hour with beer and food truck fare available for purchase.

Having been a presenter before, I can tell you that presenters spend hours and hours perfecting their talk and the result is an eclectic array of topics presented in a very polished but authentic way. Here’s a link to my February 2014 talk.

Sunshine J. Baker – Walking Through Conflict
