Speakers have exactly 10 slides displayed for 20 seconds each to deliver their compelling story. This could be anything from sharing about their company and acknowledging achievements to launching a new program and raising interest for partnerships. That’s 3 minutes and 20 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise and the interest level up during the high-energy showcase.
