This Is What a PKN in HK Is Like

PKN Hong Kong Vol. 10

We just shared photos from last week’s PechaKucha Night in Hong Kong Vol. 10, and here’s some feedback that organizer Sonia Chow sent us, that we loved so much we felt like we had to share it here. If this doesn’t make you want to attend a PKN in HK, we don’t know what will.

- It was a fab night, totally unexpected! There is something I was hoping to see in HK, finally here it is! Well done!!

- Thanks again… was great fun and really refreshing to see all those creatives coming together!

South China Morning Post Covers PKN Hong Kong

PechaKucha Night in Hong Kong Vol. 5 happens tonight (June 17) at One Bar — have a look at the flyer — and it’s great to see that the event garnered some coverage in the days leading up to the latest edition in HK’s leading English newspaper, the South China Morning Post. We love this quote, from co-organizer Oriana Reich:

PechaKucha is part of an awakening that Hong Kong and the design community is having about the need to be more open and more willing to give different people an opportunity to share what they do. It’s a sign that people want to come out of the woodwork, that they sense there’s something going on. Hong Kong has some pretty exceptional talent. It deserves a PechaKucha.
