Welcome to Pecha Kucha Night Cleveland! How often do you wonder what the other creative professionals in our community are up to? Or maybe would just like to hear from another creative person that doesn't do the same thing you do? Join us as local creatives present their work, ideas, and obsessions in a series of short presentations on art, fashion, life, food, architecture, community, film, furniture, music, and photography. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, shown for 20 seconds each to keep presentations concise, interest level up, and provide the opportunity for more people to show. This fast paced presentation format, devised and shared by Klein Dytham Architecture of Tokyo, Japan, is sure to keep the audience captivated by forcing presenters to edit to a new level of interest and conciseness. Hopefully through these creative show and tells we will be able to break down any barriers between the different design communities, expose new talent and ideas, provide a new perspective on established talent, foster meaningful collaborations amongst the presenters and audience members, and provide the community one more ridiculously interesting reason to continue creating. Mention Pecha Kucha at the gate and get into Ingenuity for only $5! Doors for Pecha Kucha open at 7PM. | ||

President Dwight Eisenhower called for the construction of the Interstate Highway System and provided a means to pay for it with the first gasoline tax. Although faced with vocal opposition, he recognized that a modern highway system was essential for the mobility and economic competitiveness of the nation. Eisenhower provided the leadership to build the infrastructure that was necessary for the US to become the world economic leader. With climate change, global competition especially for energy, inadequate infrastructure financing, and unsustainable development trends; the rules are changing. Every day we see the future - or at least parts of it - in the discussion nationally about 'cap and trade carbon legislation' or a National Infrastructure Bank. Locally we see 'green legislation' or challenges in funding road, sewer, water, and other infrastructure projects. What does it take for our country, our communities, and even our businesses to remain competitive? Join us for a lively and provocative discussion. 7:30 AM Registration & Badge Pick-up 8:00 AM to 9:15 AM Program Continental Breakfast will be served. Keynote Speaker: Tom Murphy, Senior Resident Fellow ULI/Kingbeil Family Chair for Urban Development, Former Mayor of Pittsburgh Local Respondents: Please Register by Thursday, July 24th 2008 A Free Infrastructure Report will be included!!
