Practicing is also vitally important for timing your talk. Your first attempt will ususally take longer than desired/required, but you should be running shorter than the target on follow-up attempts. If not, you need to cut down the content.
- scott_s 17y agoI gave a conference talk in May that was well under the time limit - I took barely 20 minutes in a 25 minute slot. It was a much smoother talk than one I gave in March where I tried to fit more material in. From now on, I'm going to err on the side of including less material, and giving myself more breathing room.
