Rise and Design: Chit Chat Networking

It's that time of year again, when we let the Design Network North family tell each other all about what they do, what they love, or perhaps something that fascinates them.

For those of you unfamiliar with the 'Chit Chat' concept (we used to call it Pecha Kucha, but Pecha Kucha Inc. have become quite precious about people using the name), it's a way of presenting your talk in a 19x21 format. Each speaker gets 19 slides in total, with 21 seconds per slide to tell everyone about themselves, what they do and why you should talk to them afterwards. The slides advance automatically so each presentation will last exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Which is just about our average attention span !

There are 15 speaker places available, on a first come first served basis, so if you want to present a talk don't hang about. And if you've never given a talk before, this is a really good way to start. It happens so fast you don't get time to be nervous. And we can guarantee a very appreciative crowd.

You might even be treated to mince pies (bring your own), and another Christmas tradition - People Looking Through Things!
