On May 28th – that’s this Wed­nes­day night – PechaK­ucha returns to Wel­ling­ton for it’s second Wel­ling­ton out­ing.

All you need to do for a great night out is head out to The­New­Dowse at 45 Laings Rd in Lower Hutt.

PechaKucha WellingtonPechaK­ucha Night is an event in which presenters give brief present­a­tions about a top­ic of their choos­ing accom­pan­ied by 20 images, each of which is shown for 20 seconds – giv­ing a total present­a­tion time of 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Doors open at 7.30 pm and the whole thing kicks off at 8.20pm. The bar is run­ning all night, so you get to hang with great people, hear about some inspir­a­tion­al stuff and have some fun, all at the same time.
