There is a lot of good content advice here. I'd like to add two technical points:

- Plan for the worst-case scenario, e.g. your computer dying. All my presentations are available on GitHub Pages[0] (using RevealJS), so all I need is a random laptop.

- Use a bright color theme on a beamer to improve readability (slides, console, editor/IDE). Dark schemes are nice, but they are inappropriate for most presentations. Bonus: when using HTML slides, you can design both a bright and dark theme and switch depending on the light conditions.
