Have you given a lot of talks? If not, I'd plan a 5-7 minute talk, which will actually take 10-15 minutes. Mark each of your points as either 1-minute or 2-minutes. If this was already obvious or habit, awesome :-)

I plan on practicing it out loud a couple of times at least, to improve fluidity and check the length. If anything I find I tend to talk too fast, not too slow :).
