PechaKucha series returns to TVCOG

Tech Valley Center of Gravity exterior 2016-JulyThe local PechaKucha series returns this Friday with an event at the Tech Valley Center of Gravity in Troy.

What is this PechaKucha? It's a format in which the speaker gets to talk along with 20 slides, each slide only on display for 20 seconds. (Each talk is just short of 7 minutes total.) So, it moves quickly and it forces people to get right to the point.

The lineup for Friday's event includes speakers talking about robots, pre-Civil War baseball, ecosystems, social justice and other topics. (It's posted after the jump.)

The event at TVCOG is Friday, July 29 starting at 6:30 pm with snacks and socializing. The talks start at 7 pm. It's free.

Lineup via the FB event page.
