Pecha Kucha Nights Long Beach brings you a blend of local creative, cultural, and entrepreneurs who will share reflections from their daily life - either personal or work or the intersection of both. Ideas and stories will be given as fast-paced presentation in the PechaKucha 20x20 format. PechaKucha is a global community so we will upload all presentations to international website www.pechakucha.org
