Dundee’s first Pecha Kucha Night took place in November and over 200 people joined us on that dreich Tuesday night to hear from a stellar line up of 12 diverse creative presenters. PKN gives creative people the chance to talk about whatever they fancy – their creative talents, passions or their adventures so far! The feedback and buzz following the first event has been brilliant, PKN has already been highlighted as a great boost to Dundee’s thriving creative scene.
Pecha Kucha Night Dundee volume 2 is here and as it sold out quickly last time around, please do make sure you register in advance to avoid disappointment. If you would like a flavour of what to expect at a PKN night, check out the presentation videos here.
Here is the great PKN line-up!

Spex Pistol’s Richard Cook has been a lens maker since 1987 when he was turned down for an apprenticeship by the Construction Industry Training Board. During his 15 years working for many of the leading High Street optical Brands, he found that customers craved good service and individuality. He started Spex Pistols in Dndee’s West Port with a mission to dispell the idea that ‘indie is more expensive’
What is Pecha Kucha*? Pecha Kucha Nights were originally started back in 2003 in Tokyo, as an event for creatives to meet, network, and talk about their work in public. Since then Pecha Kucha, meaning ‘chit chat’ in Japanese, has spread internationally running in over 460 cities across the world. The much loved and respected format is relaxed, simple and enjoyable, with something for everyone – presenters have 6 minutes 40 seconds to show and talk through their 20 images, each for just 20 seconds – this keeps things fast and fun!
* Pecha Kucha was devised and shared by Klein Dytham architecture. The PKN Dundee event is organised by Creative Dundee
