People who have spoken at tech conferences: what's one thing you wish you'd known before your first talk?

You'll notice your own "mistakes" 100 times more than anyone else. But no one else knows what you were planning to say. So if you take a breath and keep going, probably no one else will know there was even a blip. Also, bring extra clothes. I spilled coffee😂
I will definitely spill coffee on myself - I do most days - so this is a good one!

Yah it sounds a little silly, but anything you can do to feel calm and confident before the first time on stage helps you focus. Being coated in coffee did not set that tone lol.
