Get ready for our hottest PechaKucha yet! We're so excited to take over and get our fill of hot takes and hot chicken!

For those who have never heard of PechaKucha: this is a presentation format that gives presenters 20 slides to talk about a topic. But here's the catch.. each slide automatically advances after 20 seconds. This keeps the conversation moving and the energy flowing. PechaKucha Nights are all about community. They are casual, informative, and NEVER boring!
