This Month's Theme: Alchemy

What’s the secret to transformation? This month, we’re diving into Alchemy, where science meets magic, and ordinary moments spark extraordinary change. Join us as we celebrate our 16th Anniversary, exploring how we individually and collectively transform the world around us.

• What transformations have shaped the world around you
• How do you turn raw ideas into something golden?
• What moments have you accomplished something that felt impossible?

Doors open at 7:20pm and presentations kick off at 8:20pm.

PechaKucha Providence is built and sustained by our community.

Thank you to our venues, vendors, and volunteers make this magic happen each month. Thank you to the Providence Tourism Council for supporting us in spreading the word about what we do.

What is PechaKucha?

If you haven't heard of this global yet unpronounceable phenomenon, PechaKucha is a monthly format for sharing ideas in which presenters are allotted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. Simply put: it's 6 minutes and 40 seconds of show and tell for grown-ups. It began in Tokyo in 2003, has since spread to over 1,200 cities worldwide, and first landed in Providence in March of 2009. To the best of our knowledge, Providence is the only chapter in the entire world that hosts a PechaKucha Night every month of the year.
