WHAT?
Pecha Kucha Night in Greenville is where you can come and learn about just about anything – 6 minutes and 40 seconds at a time. Seriously. Art. Medicine. Food. Graphics. Architecture. Anything under the sun.

HOW IT WORKS
Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.

The Designers Accord is a global coalition of designers, educators, researchers, engineers, and corporate leaders, working together to create positive environmental and social impact. The Designers Accord is made up of over 170,000 members of the creative community, representing 100 countries, and each design discipline.  BOLTgroup was an early adopter of the Designers Accord and will host the southeastern version of the Designers Accord "Town Hall" at their offices in Charlotte on Thursday Aug 27 from 6-9PM.  The previous DA Town Halls occurred at Smart Design in NYC, Continuum in Boston, Lunar in San Francisco, and Bressler in Philadelphia. The Town Hall is an opportunity for local designers and firms to share the sustainability strategies and techniques used in their practices, to seek help with related challenges they may have faced, and to network around this issue.
