Promo for PKN Calgary Vol. 7

This is a promo for a PechaKucha Night in Calgary from last year (Vol. 7), and while we thought it was rather nice, we were then surprised to see that it seems to have been produced using a Google service. Nice way to get people to know what you’re talking about.

“Sorry, I went over my 6 minutes 40 seconds.”

Well, in this case, we can certainly make an exception. The title of this post probably ruins the surprise, but take a look at the presentation above — recorded at this past September’s PechaKucha Night in Calgary Vol. 9 — by Matthew Talbot-Turner (creator of Breathe Parkour magazine), and see what happens at the end.

That’s one lucky lady!

Please note that PKN Calgary Vol. 10 is taking place tonight (Wednesday, November 23) at the Central Library’s John Dutton Theatre — you’ll find the full list of presenters and more details on the official event page.

Here are also a few photos from the event, courtesy of Mike — there’s more to see in this Flickr photoset.

Twittering PKN Calgary Vol. 1

Calgary

The very first PechaKucha Night in the city of Calgary was held just last night (or a few hours ago, depending on where in the world you find yourself), but already we can get a very good idea of just what a great launch it was thanks to Twitter — see for yourself.
