Abstract
Traditional conference presentations may not engage audiences, particularly in virtual or lengthy formats. Therefore, our nursing conference committee adopted the PechaKucha (PechaKucha, Inc.) presentation style, characterized by concise, visually engaging storytelling. This study evaluates the effect of this format on engagement, presenter experience, and logistical efficiency.
This quality improvement project piloted PechaKucha presentations, which feature 20 slides auto-advancing every 20 seconds, at our annual conference. Presenters received training in the use of this format, and both presenters and attendees completed postconference surveys assessing engagement and satisfaction. We used thematic analysis and descriptive statistics to evaluate feedback.
Attendees found the PechaKucha format engaging, with 68% rating it outstanding. Although presenters reported challenges with rigid timing, many enjoyed the presentation style. The format enabled more presentations within the conference schedule while maintaining attendee engagement.
Pecha Kucha fosters engagement and logistical efficiency, although increasing preparation resources and timing flexibility could enhance its implementation.
