PechaKucha Night PVD #195 - Drop the Ball

Laugh, learn, and get inspired by a mix of people from Providence as they share their ideas, stories, and creations using the PechaKucha format of 20 images that last 20 seconds each. Named best event in Rhode Island by RI Monthly!

This New Year’s Eve, we’re embracing the art of letting go. Drop the Ball is a celebration of endings and beginnings—of what we’ve achieved, what we’ve released, and what’s yet to come. Join us to ring in the new year with stories of renewal, reflection, and starting fresh.

• How do communities adapt when expectations shift?
• How has failure or letting go fueled your creative process
• What moments of release have brought you freedom or joy?

Doors open at 7:20pm and presentations kick off at 8:20pm.

PechaKucha Providence is built and sustained by our community.

Thank you to our venues, vendors, and volunteers make this magic happen each month. Thank you to the Providence Tourism Council for supporting us in spreading the word about what we do.

If you haven't heard of this global yet unpronounceable phenomenon, PechaKucha is a monthly format for sharing ideas in which presenters are allotted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. Simply put: it's 6 minutes and 40 seconds of show and tell for grown-ups. It began in Tokyo in 2003, has since spread to over 1,200 cities worldwide, and first landed in Providence in March of 2009. To the best of our knowledge, Providence is the only chapter in the entire world that hosts a PechaKucha Night every month of the year.
