The Next PechaKucha Night Will Focus on Vancouver Food & Drink

We don’t know if you’ve picked up on it, but here at Scout we love food.

Naturally, we’re super excited to share the news that the next PechaKucha Night (November 29th) at the Vancouver Playhouse will involve a tasty line-up stories and ideas from creatives across the food and drink industry.
