Easy fix: 'slide' (well, nobody uses real slides anymore :-) rationing.
E.g. if a presenter has a 10 minute slot, maximum of 3 'slides'
(approximately; maybe less). That will force the slides to be 'discussion
frameworks', rather than 'detailed overview of the design'.

Noel,
I tried the 3 slide limit in the End2end Research Group some years ago,
and it did not work very well.
Presenters just can't discipline themselves that much, no matter how
hard you beat on them.
It's been pointed out before that in a group with very diverse languages,
written words are usually better understood than speech. It's a fact of life
that you can't have a full-speed cut-and-thrust discussion in a group
of 100 people, half of whom are speaking a foreign language. Sitting in
a circle does not fix this.
Also, remote participants need full text slides; the soundtrack simply
isn't enough.
The old days are gone.
