PechaKucha Night Burlington Drawing its name from the Japanese word for the sound of “chit chat,” PechaKucha.

PechaKucha Night Burlington (or “PKN Burlington”) is a visual storytelling event that celebrates the creative power and diversity of our community here in Burlington, across Vermont, and beyond. Since our inception in 2010, we’ve hosted 30 (and counting!) PechaKucha Nights, featuring over 260 unique presentations. We’ve held events at the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum of Art, Burlington City Arts, Shelburne Museum, ECHO-Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, Main Street Landing, and FlynnSpace.

REASON #3

PechaKucha creates connections that last long after the event ends.

People come for the presentations but often leave with something more: a new friendship, a new idea, a new collaboration, or a deeper connection to their community.

That's the power of gathering together to share stories.
