PechaKucha is beginning to appear at conferences, in classrooms and on-line. It is the simplest of concepts - 20 Powerpoint slides delivered for 20 seconds each (automatically timed). There are associated concepts - such as using mostly pictures and few words and trying not to make more than three key points.
Watch this: PechaKucha demonstration.
Not tried it? Well, it takes a lot of rehearsal but is very powerful. Audiences actually listen to what you are saying, you have to focus on the key points and ditch anything that is peripheral.
Perhaps the biggest task is to source/photoshop or create pictures that convey the points you are making. And if you are organising a conference it gives the chance to have up to five speakers in a 30 minute slot.
...and its great fun...
