PechaKucha is a presentation format introduced in february of 2003 in Tokyo. It consists on a presentation (PowerPoint mostly) with 20 slides that changes every 20 seconds. The only neccesary thing the slides need is images and very little text.
The purposes of this new presentation format is to avoid people getting bored or read too much. That's why the PechaKucha only needs images, so the people can listen to the speaker and also, he has a supporting material to make the presentation more entertained. The 20 slides 20 seconds between each one means the total time of the presentation of 6 minutes 40 seconds, making it a decent time of listening.
This format has been so succesfull that several companies have taken it to apply in their presentations. Also, a web page has been created in order to track the most popular PechaKucha presentations made these days.
Personally, for the fist time you try to do the PechaKucha can be really difficult, but when you get used to it, it makes the work much easier. Give it a try.
