The organisers halved the slot a week before the event. The talk had been written for twenty minutes.

What I did

I cut every slide that needed a sentence to explain it, and kept forty that needed none. One idea per slide, big type, no bullets.

What changed

The talk ran to time, and the slides were shared more than the recording.
