But, if it takes longer than say 3.5 minutes to present a slide (or one idea), then you likely need to add another slide. Typically technical speakers should spend 1.5 to 3.0 minutes per slide presenting a single main idea. However, again, if you’re not using a build then less than 30 seconds per slide may feel like you’re skipping something or glossing over details.įor complex ideas (or text heavy slides), for sure you’ll need more than a minute of discussion. Although you are using different slides, you are building progressively through a single main idea or, in this case, a single photo. If you don’t have at least 30 seconds of content then you might consider combining the idea with another slide or maybe use it as part of a progressive build.įor example, you may have a photo with one element highlighted then you click to the next slide which is the same photo, except with a different element highlighted, and so on. In general, you should be able to talk for at least 30 seconds per slide. What is important to consider is the complexity of the ideas being presented. (Actually, I’ve also seen presentations with no slides that were great too, but you’re asking about presentations with slides.) I’ve seen successful, dynamic 30-minute presentations that have used as few as 10 slides and as many as 150 sides.
It depends if the slides use many progressive builds it depends on how the builds are created. It depends on if the slides are heavy in graphics or text. It depends on the complexity of the content.
In the past if you asked a presentation skills “pundit” you were likely to hear “one slide per minute,” but times are changing and I don’t think the answer is as simple as a certain number of slides per minute.Īgain, it depends. How Many Slides to Use in a Presentation? Well, like many answers from consultants, my answer is … it depends!
