And you might have to hold the mic pack. Which might not be a big deal, but good to know

6) have a local copy of your slides. DO NOT RELY ON THE WIFI. I'm shocked at the number of people who rely on Google Slides for their talks

7) the conference team is there for you. If you have technical difficulties, if you need a pep talk, if you could really use a cookie, ask!

8) Speaker notes are perfectly fine. Don't let anyone tell you different. If it helps you to have something to reference, use it.

9) The room will probably not be full. Especially for confs with many tracks. So if there aren't a lot of people, that's ok! It's normal :)

10) People will look at their phones when you talk. They're not ignoring you. They're on twitter talking about how awesome you are

11) Most of all, remember that you're an invited guest! People are there to see you and they want you to do well! They're rooting for you

Bring your own remote slide clicker. Don't rely on someone else's. Don't stand locked down to podium. It's bad presentation style.

Not sure I agree. Pacing nervously all over the stage might be less pleasant for both the speaker and the viewers.
