The Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance is excited to announce that the first Pecha Kucha Night for 2012 will take place on Thursday 22th March at the Sol Bar in Maroochydore.  The Creative Alliance is putting out a call for creative presenters to speak at PKN #9 around the theme of 'Heart & Sol'.  Presenters share their passions, work and ideas using the globally renowned networking format Pecha Kecha with 20 slides each shown for 20 seconds, taking the total presentation to 6 minutes 40 seconds. If you haven't heard about PKN before take a look at the global website, now featuring events from over 460 centres across the world.

Interested presenters should email info@thecreativealliance.org with their name, phone, email and a short 200 word blurb about yourself, your work and what you might present about.   If you could do that by Feb 8 that would be great as we are having a committee meeting on the 10th.  More information can be found on our info sheet.  A blank powerpoint presentation is also available here.   More >>
