I spoke with 8 of the 12 speakers: Robert Calder, Connely Farr, Victor Wang, Brendan Meadows, Rebecca Bollwitt, Myriam Steinberg, and a joint interview with Grant McDonagh and Susanne Tabata. One of the interesting side notes of speaking with Presenters is you learn about the person presenting before you see their presentation. Some presenters do best when on stage while others seem more comfortable speaking in a one-on-one interview. 12 unique stories, 12 unique people, but all inspiring.
I went to Pecha Kucha 10 and had an amazing time, which you can read about in this VancouverObserver.com article. If you’ve never been to the event, it’s highly worth attending because you hear a range of inspiring stories by talented and creative people from diverse backgrounds.
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.
Sit back in your favourite chair or curl on your couch, grab a coffee or tea, and listen to 6 audio interviews that will leave you smiling from the rollercoaster of emotions you’ll feel when hearing their stories.
I spoke with Robert Calder about his background, reasons for presenting at Pecha Kucha, and how he chose his photographic slides for the event. Robert is the Owner of Secret Study/Boompa Records.
