Creative Showcase: Fall Forum
A chance for creatives to show off what they’ve been working on or be inspired by others in a series of quickfire 20-slide presentations.
This is an opportunity to share a creative project that you have been working on with the Index Community in the form of a Pecha Kucha – a quick style of presenting where each person will present 20 slides, for 20 seconds each. This fast pace encourages storytellers to be concise, creative, and to the point—perfect for keeping the audience’s attention.
Whether you are presenting or just attending, this is an open forum, a space to gather and share, a place to mingle with other NYC creatives. Come be inspired or present what you’ve been working on.
