I've been in the industry for twelve or so years. My CV clocks in at five pages which is about as long as I'd go. Here's how it breaks down:

Contact info and one-paragraph professional summary: <1/2 page
Work experience (date range, employer, location, title, 3+ bullet points describing responsibilities): 1 page
Major projects (name, technologies used, who for, and a brief paragraph description): 2 pages
Presentations and workshops (name, where/when, brief paragraph description): 1/2 page
The obligatory list of skills, organized and classified to not be a total mess: 1/2 page

As I've done more I've been more particular about what qualifies for the projects section but it's honestly still a little longer than I'd like.
