*Pecha Kucha* (Japanese
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language>: ??????, IPA: [pet??a
ku??t??a] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Japanese>^[1]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha#cite_note-0> , /chit-chat/) is
a presentation methodology in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds
each, usually seen in a multiple-speaker event for a total of 6 hours
and 40 seconds. Pecha Kuchas originated in 2003 in Tokyo. This year the
Charleston Conference would like to "try out" this new presentation
system. We are proposing that presenters do a 6 minute and 40 second
Pecha Kucha and allow another 9 minutes for discussion. If you like the
idea, please make a proposal for the 2011 Charleston Conference. For
more information on Pecha Kucha presentations, visit
