So know that x amount of slides will cover fifteen minutes, and you can digress or take some questions as you get to the end of each fifteen minute (or 30, or however you slice it) block so that you don't get too ahead of yourself.

Yeah, that's the plan. Or at least it was the plan when I had more time to prepare. Now I'm not sure how long everything takes. But as I practice it again, I'll try to figure it out.
