Pecha Kucha Night #43 - INSPIRE JAPAN - April 16th @ Yoshi's

The on-going tragedy in Japan has prompter our global Pecha Kucha community to reach out along with Architecture for Humanity through Pecha Kucha to raise funds for their important work and raise awareness of the diverse, pressing needs confronting our friends in Japan. This will be just one stop along with over 100 other Pecha Kucha cities sweeping around the world to help give a hand just like last year's huge effort for Haiti.

Great Night - Great Cause

Thank you PK-sf people,

Monday night's "Madness" fundraiser for Japan Earthquake relief raised money - ($1,500!)and awareness. And, on top of that, we kicked-off the global PechaKucha fund raising campaign for Japan Earthquake relief. We want to also thank the many RISD alums who reminded why that institution remains one of the top design schools in the world - fantastic work everyone. Notable among them was a local Pecha Kucha favorite, Joe Gebbia who not only shared his design rags (in his case butt pads) to riches story with the birth of Air B-n-B their fantastically successful venture connecting travelers with spaces -all online! He also handed-out $50 vouchers good at any AirBnB stay. Not bad. Throw in some more truely inspirational presentations and you've got another outstanding PK-sf evening. Date an theme for our May event will be announced soon - stay tuned.
