PechaKucha Wpg, Vol. 14 (recap)
On May 16, GDC Manitoba’s 14th installment of PechaKucha Winnipeg took place at the Park Theatre.

PechaKucha Wpg, Vol. 13 (recap)
On March 7, GDC Manitoba’s 13th installment of PechaKucha Winnipeg took place at the Park Theatre. We are all in agreement that this may have been one of the best ones yet! Although to be honest, we probably say that every time. Thursday night’s line-up included Matt Henderson (Teacher and Activist), Andrew Yankiwski (Partner, Precursor Productions), Blair Helgason (Designer), Brian Kelcey (Writer, Speaker and Policy Consultant), John...
