Countdown Slide

3-2-1

It can be useful to let your audience know when the show is going to begin. Here's a description about how to do it:

Create Countdown Slide Without VBA
(There is also a sample PowerPoint file with all the hard work done for you!)

The MVPS.org site also has a way to do it with VBA:
Simulate a countdown timer using Sleep API

Indezine.com has a tutorial:
Countdown Timer

Tushar-Mehta.com offers a free download:
PowerPoint Timer add-in
The add-in provides a variety of capabilities missing from PowerPoint itself. During a slideshow, it can:

Show the current time

Show the elapsed time of the presentation

Count down the time remaining for the presentation.

Optionally, it includes the ability to terminate the presentation at the end of a separately configurable grace period!

Also a tutorial on auto scheduling a PowerPoint show
