20 slides, 20 seconds for each slide. About 6 mins in total. Random crowd. 5 other presenters. Design-centric audience.
What would you do?

Nothing very web-centric has been done and I'd love to do something about user-centric design for the web...but 20 secs a slide? Unpossible!

i owe you a better answer.
Look at good vs bad user interface for both typical navigation and content control websites. You can compare sites like tumblr/facebook/etc to sites like google adwords control/etc.

you could try hammering home the importance of working within a conventional framework in function heavy web stuff like e-commerce, god knows a lot of designers could do with understanding that. Maybe make the slides progress along some kind of typical user paths; one to completion of goals and one to utter confusion and disaster. Make it very visual and stripped back and get your point across.
but then maybe you disagree with me ;)

are you a social media hater? you could look at how crowdsourcing and all that gubbins mirrors group behaviour in real life human social groups

Initial thoughts and sketches were around why user-centric design for the web is so important.
Slides 1-4 - What is user centric design? Why is it important? Examples of user centric design outside of web (can opener etc..)
Slides 5 - 10 - Popular websites that fail because they haven't thought of the user enough.
Slides 11 - 16 - Websites that have succeed by putting the user first
17-20 - Why we must empowering the user
?
- why we must 'empowering' the user? Been in HK too long laaaa!jevad

Might be an idea to take the user experience out of the context of websites for a minute - show them how a car is built to certain conventions so drivers don't need to relearn with every new car, that kind of thing - might be more entertaining if you can get your point across in a less "technical lecture"ish way...

sounds dope to me.

have the slides "talk" to each other - as in have a conversation - if you timed it perfectly could give fantastic results...
- jevad0
hey _me_ - can you elaborate on that?
