What is the best number of slides for a 30 minute presentation

The real secret is to time the presentation to ensure that you have it at the right length. I would suggest 20 -25 minutes would be great as you do not want to bore them.

Traditional wisdom says 1 slide per minute, but I tend to use more than that. I once saw one company use 75 slides in 20 minutes to great effect. They effecively used a new slide per bullet point.

Thanks Doctor, HR have told him it has to be a 30 min presentation followed by 15 mins Q&A then a 45 min interview. So you wouldn’t say that 40 slides would be over doing it?
It’s a complex problem in Aviation they have asked him to address so the slides are a big help in making his point.

Thanks
