Rule of thumb for minutes per slide for presentation?

I’m preparing a formal presentation (will use Powerpoint) that I will conduct before an audience. This will be a business presentation (topic: developing new products and services).

Anyone know the rule of thumb that will tell me how many slides I should have for a 20-minute presentation (not including Q&A at end)? I used to know but have forgotten.

I would say 10 slides plus 1 introductory one and one that summarizes everything to leave up while q&a.

I really think the detail of your presentation would be an important factor in determining that. Think about what you intend to say in each slide and consider the time required by your audience to fully benefit from its impact rather than artificially inserting a blanket interval for the presentation as a whole. Good luck.
