You may remember that the proud city to be the 200th to join the global PechaKucha Night community was Nishinomiya, and it was back in July that their first event was held. Organizer Brent Jones reports.
PKN made its debut in the Kansai region of Japan on Thursday night, July 2nd. As you may have heard, earlier this summer, Nishinomiya became the 200th city to join the PKN family. This is a great honor and we wanted to mark the occasion with a successful first event at Konan CUBE, our new building in Nishinomiya that is home to the Hirao School of Management (Konan University).
The line-up of presenters introduced an eclectic mix of creative ideas, design initiatives and other innovative pursuits. Approximately 120 people were in attendance, many traveling from Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and other parts of Kansai. When asked at the end of the night if they would like to see more PKN events here in Nishinomiya, the crowd responded with a boisterous affirmation that yes, there was a thirst for more PechaKucha!
