i went through the exact same thing 2 years ago at a conference in Singapore. Lots of students and lecturers. My presentation was fine (I had it all written down). But, like you, my mind went totally blank when asked questions. Totally. I could not answer a single question, there was just a stunned silence in the room, the main lecturer actually had to help me understand the questions cos i was so nervous.
What made it unbearable was that every other student's presentation and their 'Question Time' at the end went perfectly. They all sounded confident, well spoken, perfect. I felt like such an outsider, it was horrible everbody giving me the 'pity' look.
