Pecha Kucha, Japanese for “chit chat†is a high-energy showcase of ideas that started 2003 in Japan. The concept is that each presenter is allowed 20 images in a power point presentation that is shown for 20 second each– giving 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, interest level up and gives the opportunity for more people to express their ideas.
Hospitality Design (HD) Magazine, published 10 times a year, is the premier trade magazine serving the field of hospitality design.

Hospitality Design Boutique Exposition & Conference (HD Boutique): HD’s chic, smart-sized exposition and conference on the SoBe scene. HD Boutique reflects the energy and the influences of Miami Beach and South Beach where Latin, South, and North America converge and act as a barometer of what’s happening in hospitality.
