I present in public health and law with academic audiences, and they can be a real challenge. I agree about creating paper as a way to balance needs/expectations. I have also learned to do two presentations. One that I give, and one that I make available for download giving the URL on my last presentation slide. The downloaded presentation incorporates data and, for law, detailed citations, etc.

People like it. I have also found that if you do the non-traditional ‘academic’ presentation, people will notice yours out of the sea of bad slides that academics normally use.
