YPN PechaKucha Night

Description

PechaKucha Volume 30, Empower to Rise an evening of stories focused on mentorship.

So, what is a PechaKucha Night? PechaKucha Night is an event in which multiple speakers conduct concise and fast-paced presentations. Presenters will have 400 seconds to tell their story, with visuals guiding the way.

This concept was developed in 2003 by an architectural firm in Tokyo as a fun, relaxed way for people to share their work, ideas, and hidden talents, and has since spread to more than 1200 cities world-wide, including Albany!

YPN is hosting PechaKucha in partnership with The Opalka Gallery and Russell Sage College at Brown's Revolution Hall!  Dinner is included.

Join our YPN Executive Mentorship Co-Chairs Kim Lengyel, Pursuit Lending and James Wighaus, Lavelle & Finn LLP, along with our Emcee for the evening: Brittany Lawton, CEO, Lawton Social.
