    Thumbnail.
    Thumbnail is an open forum for the exchange of ideas, based on the model of PechaKucha. PechaKucha Night was devised as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. Thumbnail aims to encourage the Cornell community, in its many incarnations, to incite, enliven and cross-fertilize ideas from many disciplines through a visual platform designed around a single topic. The format is explicit: 20 slides at 20 seconds each.
