I wrote this for PodCamp, but it applies to any presentation you might give:

Jason’s 8 Tips for a GREAT Session:

1. Be energetic. Think and KNOW that the new media are the way of the future. Open people’s minds about why they are really here.
2. Don’t stand in one place. Walk around and LOOK around at your attendees.  You’re not a young teenager who gets random erections, so ditch the podium.  It’s impersonal.
3. To help with nervous habits, hold an object like a pen in your hand.
4. Ask for questions either during your session or towards the end… whatever you are most comfortable with.
5. Speak clearly and slowly. Annunciate those energetic words! Define anything terms that may be foreign.
6. Be calm. Do what you have to in order to relax prior to your session (meditation, prayer, music, Xanax, weed, Jack Daniels, Dogfish Head, whatever).
7. Make sure your electronic presentation medium is ready to go for when your session starts.
8. Enjoy yourself. Chances are that if you enjoy giving your lecture, the kiddies will enjoy it too.
