Pecha Kucha: The Cure for Death by Powerpoint

If you've ever been forced to endure an excruciatingly long powerpoint lecture, you'll appreciate PechaKucha, a concept invented in Tokyo in 2003. The idea is simple: share your message with 20 images, shown for 20 seconds each. This forces the presenter to get right to the heart of the message - no fluff allowed. Done correctly, it leaves the audience wanting to know more, without burdening them with information they don't need.

Here's an example of a Pecha Kucha presentation, given in February of 2010:
