This guy is a hero, but Jesus, the 5-minute presentation with auto-advancing slides is the stupidest concept I've ever heard. I feel genuinely bad that he had to do this. Look at the poor guy desperately trying to progress his point while people are laughing at each slide. What a ludicrous gimmick. I get the vision; get out the ideas in a brief, digestible talk, but the notion of educating people is utterly undermined when the speaker is 100% focused on time, and 0% on content.
