Successful Pechakucha presentations usually have images that complement what the speaker is saying and not a bunch of bullets and text on the slide. For an explanation of how to prepare a scientific Pechakucha presentation, please watch this . The use of animations is discouraged, but if you want to use animations, make sure that the start time and speed of the animation is set so that it fits into the 20 seconds that you have per slide. You can find instructions on how to do this .
6. Standard laptops and audio-visual equipment provided by the venue will be used in the lecture room. Remember slides in a Pechakucha presentation are automatically changed after 20 seconds so you must be well prepared to make sure your presentation is harmonized with the slides!
