If your organization has not been listed on this or a previous Pecha Kucha Order post, that means you’re either presenting during one of the three day-time sessions that feature Pecha Kucha as part of its format, (Publishing 5 Models; Exhibition as Experience, 10 Models; or Supporting Artists, 5 Models*) or you’ll be presenting on the third day at the San Francisco Art Institute. An order for Saturday’s final session will be posted here soon and will be available at the registration desk of the hotel.

*If you’re in one of these three sessions, chances are that you have already spoken with your session leader about your participation. Please check the schedule page if you are unsure.
