Pecha Kucha Night Brussels Vol.09

Pecha Kucha Night Brussels Vol.09 is taking place on Sept. 19th, 2009.


Important Note in Brussels

Unbelievable. Inacceptable. I discovered today that a political party is organizing a pechakucha, stealing the name & format.
Please note that PKN Brussels has nothing to do with the evening organized in Brussels on May 28th. There is no affiliation and we are trying to know who is organizing this evening.

PKN Brussels is organized by Alok Nandi, Architempo, as part of the Global PK activities with Astrid Klein, Mark Dytham and the PK HQ in Tokyo.
This abusive undertaking is simply unethical.
