Don't cram too much on each slide. Besides the fact that small text is
hard to read from a distance, you want people listening to you, not
ignoring you and reading the slide.
If you have the opportunity, sit at the farthest point away from the

So, I press Esc to drop off full screen, and alt-tab to the (dreaded)
live software demo I'm doing, I run the software demo, then alt-tab back

If you're going to distribute an outline, send it in early for inclusion on
the conference CD or let attendees pick it up at the exit. You want them to
