Work on your joke deliveries, mind your pronouns (I kept saying guys) Practice your talk 100 times (and some more) Be aware that doing a demo where people can input text, & it shows on the screen... there will be dbags on the audience (maybe not, but always plan for the worst 😋)

Also, know your audience (people, seniority level, cultural aspects, etc) its always helpful when you plan to frame any explanation :)

And have fun! Is the easiest way to crush it and make it a nice experience for everyone. And it makes for awesome memories when you look back 😋
