Each presentation uses the trademarked “PechaKucha 20×20” format, in which 20 slides are featured and each slide appears for a total of 20 seconds, resulting in a 6:40 presentation that ensures presenters keep their talks short and to the point.

“For the 25th edition, presentation topics will range from addressing worthiness, to highlighting the most legendary salt-water bivalve mollusc aka Oysters, to discussing one journey that will change your entire life, to improving creativity and promoting a deep relaxation approximating a meditative state, to aerial arts, to paving the way to becoming a human rights activist and to talking about sex and death.
