I would be worried that you will run into the time troubles you had at the summit again - I like the slides, but they definitely feel a little text heavy. I think that they'd benefit by simply having less text on there - slide 7, for example, could have all text completely replaced by a trend line overlayed on your background photo.

Slide 14 could probably go :}

I had trouble identifying your key argument in the first few slides - it can be OK to bring people to a destination they don't know in a presentation, but I usually recommend saying up-front what you want to prove, and then drive towards that proof (so that people can contextualise your arguments). Your key point is, I guess, that companies need to have high-quality feedback mechanisms to empower their user-base? Perhaps that could be front & center in the presentation (without so many words on the slide) and then you reinforce that core point by showing the good feedback that people have gotten, contrast with feedback done badly, address the challenges & nod to the future afterwards, and then circle back to the core point - you need to have feedback mechanisms, you need to integrate feedback into your marketing & product plans, etc.

I hope you don't mind late feedback!

Cheers,
Dave.
