The name "Pecha Kucha" comes from the Japanese word for the sound of conversation, and the concept comes from the idea that experts should not be the only people talking about big ideas. We will be hosting a panel of speakers, including Century staff, faculty and students, with insight on our experiences with war: each speaker will present 20 PowerPoint slides for 20 seconds each and frame a talk to fit this format. Afterwards, please stay for a question and answer session, appetizers, and conversation with the panelists. Event is free and open to the public
