I just gave a presentation at a local show, here is what helped me:

1) Finish the presentation long before your talk

2) Practice the presentation out loud and make final tweaks to the slides

3) Want to add something "funny"? Yep, plan it out

4) Once locked down, practice the presentation once a day (7 times?)

5) On the day of the presentation, don't review the slides

6) Show up early and stand on the stage and watch people enter

7) You are ready. Start on time.
