Pecha Kucha 5.0

July 19th, 2009 · 6 Comments · conference, info design, social network

This week is chock full of events. In my previous post I mention the Wayfinder Lectures coming up on Thursday, July 23th at Hawaii Public Radio. On Friday, July 24th at the Academy of Arts, Linekona the fifth installment of Pecha Kucha Night will take place. The Pecha Kucha presentation format started in Japan with designers, graphic artists and architects getting together and adopting this short 20 slides, 20 seconds each format. That limited the preso to 6 minutes and 40 seconds. So, if anything bored you, not to worry, it would be over in no time. Pecha Kucha Night (PKN) 4.0 took place in Honolulu last March. I was planning to present but decided instead to capitalize on a trip to SXSW 2009. Now that PKN 5.0 is here, I got no excuses. My presentation is entitled: Top 20 Social Media Geeks. You can guess who might be on the list but for me the hardest part was deciding who to trim from the list. No hints, the big reveal is this Friday. Hope to see you there.

    I’ll take some guesses for your Top 20 Social Media Geeks list! I’ll say @hawaii is on the list as the rock for social media of Hawaii. If social media in Hawaii was a pyramid scheme, he’d be at the top!

    My second guess is @neenz. She’s really exploded on the scene thanks to her voracious social media efforts.

    My last guess (for now) is @kgmb9. This local news station really revamped itself and the landscape of news with their integration of social media.

    I concur with Gee Why’s guesses. (love the way he put it about @hawaii and being at the top if this were a pyramid scheme!)

    And, though I figure you might not, YOU (Bytemarks) should definitely be on that list!

    It’s @hawaii and YOUR fault I’m on Twitter as much as I am! ^_~

    Aloha Burt,

    I’m honored and to be honest totally stunned to be included on your list. To be recognized by you among so many people I admire in social media is humbling. Thank you so much for your kindness.

    I just want to tell you that your support and encouragement for my adventures into social media with The Canary Report mean the world to me. You taught me that social media is all about helping others, it’s all about the Aloha Spirit, and I have built my online community around that premise. It’s the drumbeat behind everything I do: How can I help others with my topic? How can I help them lead healthier lives?

    So from the bottom of my heart, I say Mahalo for all your support and for including me in this exciting presentation.

    From my heart to yours: Aloha!
