How to pace a deck
A safe default is one slide per minute for narrative decks, and 20–30 seconds for data-heavy review slides. Set the total slot your organiser gave you, then adjust the slide count until the pace feels honest.
Why per-slide pacing helps
A single countdown only tells you that you are late. Per-slide pacing tells you which slide you overspent on, so you know what to cut before the next rehearsal — usually the one you rewrote three times.
Rehearse with the real ending
Always run the last two minutes at least once: closing, questions, and the awkward silence while people find their cameras. Those are the minutes most presenters never time.
