THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!

If you are still interested in attending, please add yourself to the wait list using the button above. If and when tickets become available you will be sent an email and asked to accept the tickets. More importantly, if you REALLY REALLY want to come, I would suggest showing up at KINGS around 7:15, at which time we will most likely start letting in non-registered guests to the event if there is still space available (ie ticket holders that do not show up).

AFTER PARTY: We will be hosting a meet-and-greet with presenters downstairs at Neptunes Parlour to connect groups with interested Raleigh/Triangle locals immediately following the presentations starting around 10:00pm. No tickets or registration necessary.

Triangle PechaKucha is pleased to announce their fourth PechaKucha Night sponsored by Lonerider Beer, KINGS, Yelp! and TechShop. The event will take place at the recently renovated KINGS in downtown Raleigh as part of ideaSPARK in Raleigh, NC, on September 16th, 2010, at 7:30 pm (doors open at 6:30) to kick off Raleigh’s annual SPARKcon Festival! The event is free, but space is limited. 

What is it? PechaKucha Nights are local idea-sharing events in the 20 x 20 format: speakers present 20 slides for 20 seconds per slide. Slides advance automatically to keep things moving forward at a rapid pace. Anyone can present, but the most meaningful PechaKucha presentations are the ones that uncover the unexpected -- unexpected talent, unexpected ideas. Many use PechaKucha Night to present their latest creative projects, work, or passions. PechaKucha is Japanese for 'chatter' or the sound of conversation. All of September’s PechaKucha/ideaSPARK presentations are closely aligned with the philosophy & mission of SPARKcon.

What is SPARKcon? SPARKcon is a showcase of creativity, talent and ideas of “The Creative Hub of the South,” the Triangle NC. SPARKcon is a “creative potluck” of SPARKs or creative themes such as art, music, film, fashion, etc. Each SPARK is organized & produced by individuals who are deeply embedded in that specific local scene. SPARKcon is a program of Visual Art Exchange, a Raleigh non-profit whose mission is to support emerging artists and connect the community to the arts.
