I apologize for how dark this video came out (we were in an outdoor courtyard with no lights), but the sound is fine, so you can get the gist of the presentation. As I mentioned in a previous post, this is a video of my presentation to a group architects at an AIA Los Angeles event. I was one of seven speakers. We were each allowed 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. There were approximately 50 people in attendance. I got to talk to a couple people afterward and received encouraging feedback, but I think my presentation was too general to really spark people’s interest. That will come as I continue to refine the idea.

I’m still super early on in concept development for my venture, so the idea is changing almost every week. Of course, ideas build on each other and I want to show the progression of thought, so I’m posting this up. I spent a good chunk of today on instantdomainsearch.com, trying to find a better available domain name than Vverdant. Gotta sleep on a few gems I came across. I don’t want to take too long though, as I’ve already seen one good name disappear before I could register it: fillvoid.com.

I’ll be presenting my idea for Vverdant at this event next week!

I’m excited…. I get 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide = 6:40 to inspire and make my point. I’m working on my slides and pitch now. This event is put on by AIA Los Angeles. Pecha Kucha is a global movement — I had never heard of it, but they even have a .org. Google, is doing the same thing, but calling it Ignite. There are 9 talks in this video and most of them are worth watching:
