PechaKucha Night Dubuque PechaKucha Nights Dubuque are social events that connect people through a unique array of creative and unexpected personal stories. Events are always free.

PechaKucha (meaning chit-chat) Night is an international project that started in Japan in 2003. It started as a way for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world. Presenters must share their stories using 20 slides and a limit of 20 seconds per slide. In Dubuque, we strive to curate presenters who can share an eclectic variety of stories. No event is the same. PK Nights started in Dubuque in August of 2015.
