TexasDesign

Pronounced “peh-chak-cha”, a mix of show-and-tell, open-mike night and happy hour, it has become the forum for ideas on design, culture and a lot more that has swept the world in just four years now having taken place in over 200 cities globally.

Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.

What do we have lined up for PK Vol 2? Neuroscientists, Graphic Designers, Artists, Architects and Industrial Designers. And thats only half the roster!

There’s no charge to attend this event and is open to the public. Cash bar.
