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 pay attention and/or take notes, not to be reading ahead while you're talking.
Include audience participation -- a short brainstorm, feedback, quiz. It's okay to give out handouts for those. Please don't write everything on the slides and take up space as a talking head. What a yawn.
