A pecha kucha talk gives a speaker twenty slides at twenty seconds each, and the slides go wrong when they try to carry the whole argument. This conference talk template keeps each slide to one image, one idea and at most a few words, so the speaker leads the story and the screen supports it. It is built around a hook, a single big idea, the evidence, the takeaways and a close.

The sample is for Cinderfield Studio, a fictional design studio, with a talk called Ship Small, Learn Fast that uses three numbers, a story, practical steps and a final call to action. Replace the hook, the evidence and the takeaways with your own, and check the timing with a stopwatch. Enlarge any code or chart so it reads from the back of the room.
