PechaKucha Silver Spring Vol 19: Nothing's Taboo...

We're excited to announce our first volume of PECHAKUCHA FOR 2020. As we celebrate the new decade, we're opening up our first volume of the year with a topic that is inherently off-limits: TABOO. We'll have 8-10 presenters share ideas about things we don't normally talk about. It may be soceital norms, familial relations or any number of subjects not often discuss openly. Join US, as and help US broach this tough topic with friends, family and strangers alike. This is a nonprofit event. THIS EVENT IS OPEN ACCESS. 20X20: All of the presentations are exactly 20 slides and each slide is timed to exactly 20 seconds for a total of 6 minutes and 30 seconds. It's the PechaKucha way! WHAT TO EXPECT: Come to the Silver Spring Civic Building [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Silver+Spring+Civic+Center/@38.9974182,-77.0266968,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b7c8ba7fcc87c7:0x85f73077e6b965fd!8m2!3d38.9974182!4d-77.0245081] on Saturday, February 1, 2020 from 7-9:30PM. Spend the first ~20 minutes chatting with some friends, digging tunes, and enjoying beer, wine and light snacks. Around 7:20PM, we'll have the first half of presenters. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be full of awe. Intermission. We encourage you to discuss ideas that you heard or considered through the first half. Maybe discuss it with a stranger. We'll have the second half of presenters where you'll go through a similar roller coaster of emotion as before. Afterwards, hang out and chat until we kick you out.
