I have just sat down to write the presentation for a talk I have been invited to give at an international conference next week. I am an invited speaker, and was asked to give an overview of my subject area. The conference is a wide-ranging one, although it is likely that most of the people in the session itself will be more familiar with the topic I am discussing. Today I double-checked the programme and found that my talk is scheduled for 15 minutes! 15 minutes! How can I give an overview in 15 minutes (or 12 mins and 3 mins discussion!!!)???
Moral of the story: Ask more questions before agreeing to give an invited talk....
