Yes, pidgin will work.
No, you won't need an account.
The HowTo is here:
1. Install Pidgin (Applications -> Add/Remove... -> Search -> Pidgin
-> Tick Box, Click Apply
2. Launch Applications -> Internet -> Pidgin
3. The irc server is irc.freenode.net, the screen name is anything -
short is good, no spaces, no duplicates. Room name is
#ubuntu-marketing
4. You should see two windows, one with "buddies" and one with the chat.
