Nestled in the vibrant and culturally rich backdrop of Goa, PechaKucha is more than just an event; it’s a movement that celebrates stories, creativity, and community. Originating from Tokyo in 2003, this unique presentation format invites storytellers to share their journeys through a quick, engaging “20×20” structure—20 slides, 20 seconds each. Since its inception in Goa in 2018, PechaKucha has transformed into a powerful platform for creatives and enthusiasts to connect, inspire, and grow.
The Power of 20×20
PechaKucha’s format is its essence—concise, impactful, and dynamic. Speakers have precisely 6 minutes and 40 seconds to present, ensuring every moment is engaging. This brevity fosters clarity, focus, and connection, turning even the most complex stories into relatable narratives. The format’s global appeal stems from its ability to democratize storytelling, proving that everyone, regardless of profession or experience, has something valuable to share.
Goa’s Creative Renaissance
PechaKucha Goa stands out as a testament to the region’s thriving creative spirit. Over the past five years, it has hosted nearly 50 editions, bringing together over 500 speakers and 5,000 attendees. Themes such as “Climate Change,” “Entrepreneurs,” “The Power of She,” and “Art & Design” have sparked meaningful conversations and resonated deeply with local and global audiences alike.
Each event is a microcosm of Goa’s diverse talent pool. Artists, entrepreneurs, architects, travelers, and everyday individuals share their stories of triumph, failures, and bold visions. The result? A unique evening of laughter, introspection, and connection that lingers long after the last slide fades.
More Than an Event
PechaKucha Goa is not just a night of presentations; it’s a full-fledged experience. Pre-event networking sessions allow professionals and enthusiasts to connect in an informal setting. Live performances, creative themes, and collaborations with local businesses and heritage venues add layers of excitement, making every edition truly unique.
In Goa, venues have ranged from cozy cafes to heritage mansions, reflecting the state’s eclectic vibe. Each location is chosen not just for its aesthetics but for its ability to foster the spirit of community and dialogue.
