About:
Design delivers meaning. It is all around us in our everyday lives, shaping the way we live and work. Design also crosses boundaries in work, allowing professionals of different fields to communicate and develop. Helsinki Design Week offers a package of events for anyone to learn more about design and for professionals to display their creativity and talent. In the city of the World Design Capital 2012, find out what message design has for you.
This city-wide event, encompassing design, architecture and fashion, was first organised in 2005. The mission of Helsinki Design Week is to encourage companies to develop their business in new directions, to contribute to improvements in various areas of Helsinki, and to become more international in scope. Helsinki Design Week offers visitors exhibitions, seminars, workshops, fashion shows and shopping experiences, as well as open days in private homes, public buildings, and design studios.

About:
Helsinki PechaKucha Nights bring local and international creative talent on stage. Our aim is to let creative people share their ideas, inspirations and visions with the world in the PechaKucha 20 x 20 format. PechaKucha is an ongoing part of Helsinki Design Week.
The concept of creativity, for us, is flexible. Past speakers have included professionals from the fields of fashion design and architecture to performance art and cosmology.
Originally created by Klein Dytham Architecture in Tokyo, PechaKucha 20 x 20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images for 20 seconds each. The images forward automatically, and the speaker talks along with the images.
PechaKucha Nights are now happening in over 230 cities around the world. The first PechaKucha Helsinki took place in 2006.
