Hello, giving a 15-minute slotted (so assuming 10-12 minute) oral conference presentation on a research project at a poultry disease conference. I wasn’t sure with such a short presentation if it’s okay to leave off the “about me” intro or if it’s still best to include? Thanks!

I would personally leave out an About Me slide with such limited time. Just verbally introduce yourself, job, and any relevant degrees. That should be enough.
Leave it off and get right into it. 10-12 minutes isn’t much. Especially if you have some meat to your submitted work.
It’s mostly useless at the best of times and the chair should be introducing you. I never bither with it and it’s not what oeople came to hear.
Nope, just name, affiliation and maybe position on the title slide
Nobody ever came to a presentation to hear someone talk about themselves unless it’s a job talk. Throw your name and affliation on the title slide and get right to the meat or birds as it may be.
No. No one ever includes an about me slide in a conference talk.
It’s useful in some cases for invited lectures to give the audience a sense of where you are coming from and what your background perspective is, but at a conference your perspective is that you have research relevant enough to be accepted at this conference.
I’ve never seen an about me slide in a conference talk.
