Pecha Kucha

Pecha Kucha

The Sixth PechaKucha Night in Milwaukee is going to be something special. Why? Because it will be free, the first 20 people through the door get a copy of “Pow!” by Andy Nulman, Shopkeeper Ken will be DJing, and you’ll hear and watch fast paced presentations (20 slides that change automatically every 20 seconds) on making beer, the global impact of coffee, green homes, why people don’t (and do) like to dance, technology and sausage, the fact that humans actually have three brains, and much more! Presenters include Mike Brenner, James Carlson, Jim Chambers, Fred Gillich, Steve Hawthorne, Ryan Matteson, David Ravel, and Jim Warchol. Mark your calendars and see you there! Where: Sugar Maple 441 E. Lincoln Avenue (Lincoln and Kinnickinnic) 414-481-2393
