How to organize content of slides for a conference presentation? I am going to attend my first IEEE conference on Electronic Design/Verification and am feeling quite nervous about my first oral presentation. 

I want to make sure to "sell" my point and ensure all questions are being tackled, and so I am looking for advice related to the organization of my slides. For example,


How can the slide material  complement my speaking? 
How do I ensure that the end-product is not dry/heavy? 
If my work is on for example, SRAM or Post-silicon technologies,is it recommended to begin my presentation with a foil on a collage of the latest news snippets about these topics? This could probably draw their attention rather than picking up some lines from my camera-ready's introduction section. 
Also, how many slides should I ideally allocate for each section of my paper?


I am forced to ask such "trivial" questions as my Professor is on a sabbatical currently and has little/no access to mail for the next few weeks. 
I have searched the Internet and found some generic advice, like "How to give a bad talk" by David Patterson.

There are some related questions on this site that do not seem to directly address how to organize the content of the slides. How to do a flawless and natural presentation? asks about becoming a more effective orator. Inspiration for great presentations asks about effective design elements (not content organization) for slides.
It is better to finish early than late (if they would let you). Do not
try to say too much. Then try to be informal, to give a feeling and
intuitive understanding for what you are doing. If you include an
equation, you probably want to explain it informally. It is often unlikely
that most people will follow details that are too technical.

Part, or all, of the presentation is really advertising for the
paper. Make then understand the concepts, and why it is interesting
and new. But you should probably skip the technical details of proofs
or programs.  However, relating your work to existing work is
important: the audience will want to understand why they should spend
time reading you paper, what advances they will get beyond what they
already know.  If they are interested in a specific detail they
consider crucial, they will as a question. But you are unlikely to
know in advance what it will be.

Remember, you will not tell your whole paper in one talk. Else the
talk would be longer, or the paper shorter.

If you think that some details are important and that you may have
question about them, though they would overload your talk, you can
prepare slides to answer questions about them. And you use them if
needed.  But do not mix them with the other slides, put them at the
end.

Your PDF (PDF is generally accepted) should be organized so that you do not have to think about it
during the talk. You will be busy enough.
