I'll be going too so I'd love tips as well. I found an old thread where they discussed it, which you've probably already found, but I didn't see any tips there other than not to go over 8 minutes.
I'm curious about talking about research interests vs. the specific research I'm presenting. It's hard enough to present research in 8 minutes, so I didn't include a slide on my research interests, and thought I'd just briefly mention them. Just hoping that's OK...
