Flash Talks, powered by PechaKucha at Zlin Design Week, features a selection of designers, creatives, architects, artists, and other figures from the creative and cultural scenes. A total of 10 speakers will take the stage during the evening.

And since we want to offer you something new, this year’s event will kick off with a 30-minute keynote by Sara Polak. Festival curator Natálie Vencovská will guide you through the entire program, and following the keynote, the evening will continue with a series of short presentations in the classic PechaKucha 20×20 format.

So what exactly is PechaKucha like? Each speaker has 20 images and can speak for only 20 seconds per image – so the entire presentation lasts just 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

The event was launched in Tokyo in February 2003 and is now held in more than 1,400 cities around the world.
