AIGA Baltimore will be holding Ink / Pixels 2012, a design conference for students on April 21. Since this is a conference for students only, we thought you might be excited to speak your mind. We are looking for students to submit proposals for PechaKucha talks to be given at the conference. Deadline for proposal submissions is March 12th March 21.

What is Pecha Kucha?
If you had six minutes and 20 images, what would you say? PechaKucha is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images for 20 seconds each. The images forward automatically and you talk along to the images.

Here are some examples to see PechaKucha style in action:

• Ignite Baltimore
• Designing Obama by Scott Thomas
• Other Pecha Kucha Examples

Suggested Topics
These are just suggested topics to get you started. We are open to any topics that involve the subject of design.

• Design and Social Media
• Social Design
• Design and Business

How to Submit
All submissions are due by 11:59pm, March 12th March 21.
Entries received after the deadline will not be considered.

1. Speakers’ first and last names
2. School(s) you attend
3. Email address we should use to contact you if your talk is selected
4. Title of your proposed talk
5. Description of your talk in 300 words or less.

Selected proposals will be announced after March 19 March 23 on our blog.
