Based on the style of a 'Pecha Kucha', Dott Cornwall will be hosting another round of talks. Each speaker will have 20 slides and 20 seconds to talk about each one.

No.2 – Wednesday 24th November – 5:30-8pm – Venue TBC – Mexican Night!

A big thanks to everyone who attended the event on the 26th October, it was a fantastic night with an array of inspiring talks. For those who were unable to attend, do not fear, our next Pecha Kucha is just round the corner. Pecha Kucha is a fast paced presentation format of 20 slides, each lasting 20 seconds.

If you have not been involved in Dott's journey, this is a great opportunity to see what has been acheived in the last 18 months. This is also a chance to fully understand the legacy being set-up within Cornwall – to continue and respond to user centred design in transforming services and tackling social and economic issues.

The evening will include presentations on the innovations and outcomes of Dott Projects and next steps.

• Mark Irlam (Something from Us) – ‘From Cornwall with Love’
• Joe Smith (Think Public) – 'Cornwall Works 50+'
