Hey, PechaKucha Night Detroiters! Ready for the next installment - our 28th event in Detroit?
We're gearing up for a great collaboration with Congress For New Urbanism -- they will be in town for a weekend, and we're going to celebrate! We will be hosting a PechaKucha Night that is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, but geared to the theme of their conference - "The Transforming City" - and we are looking for local and national speakers to take on that challenge. If you're interested in a chance to present in the PKN 20slides x 20seconds format, send us your name, contact info and a few images/words about your topic to pkndetroit@gmail.com by May 15th.
For all attendees -- presentations will begin at 7:00 sharp, and will be followed by a CNU debate at 8:30, so get there early! See you there!
