I moderate occasional 'Pecha Kucha'-style sessions at our company, where a
number of people present using a strict format of 20 slides, 20 seconds/slide.
Theoretically you can set this up using PowerPoint or Keynote, but in
practise amalgamating everyone's deck is a pain, and they always send them
only just before the start. So I use a similar set up to Chris, with a
controller stack on my laptop, and a display stack on the second
display/project. It's set up to simply work from folders of images, and takes
care of timing, centering people's odd-sized images, etc.
As I naturally hacked it up half-an-hour before the first session, the first
presenters suffered a few glitches.... and some in the second session... but
it works pretty well now, and they've mostly forgiven me.

I've not done a business-style presentation from LiveCode before, but I've
been running the jumbotron display at a convention that holds a
tongue-in-cheek game show each year. I connect the AV gear to my laptop as a
second monitor, and use two stacks to run the show. One is the visible one
that lives on the second screen, and the other stays on my laptop and lets
me control the scores and game elements in real time.
It's worked great for many years now. I even completely re-wrote it in a
single evening for last year's show. Just to remind everyone how fast it is
to develop in LiveCode... :)

OK, thanks. I suspected the approach would be DIY (do it yourself) - I
don't need to waste any time looking for pre-cooked answers and can just
dive in ;-)
Bjoernke - thanks for the arrow key navigation tip.
