If you are in a hurry, something like NX Powerlite might work for you. It's
available here: http://www.nxpowerlite.com/

In the future, be sure to have the marketing people, resample the images
before they put them in a presentation, as Taj suggested.

When resampling images it is important change the resolution first, then
change the dimensions. (If it is done in reverse, the size will change
again when the resolution is changed.)

Be sure that the same images are not being placed on many slides
individually. By placing them on slide masters, you can really reduce file
size. Good luck.
