going to do my first conference presentation today.

J

any last minute advice??

still learning my slides - hoping it goes well.

Yes, say the slides out aloud as you practice rather than just reading them. It makes a huge difference!

thanks syvelster. i'll do that for two hours!

hi
I'm in the same position going on Monday - very nervous about it, been reading my slides and making minor changes for days!

I'm presenting again next week, still makes me nervous! There is definitely no substitute for practice, and definitely talk aloud when you practice. Time yourself to make sure you are within the time limit (bear in mind that nerves may make you slightly quicker for the real thing). If you are well practiced, it does gives you confidence. Good luck, sure you'll be great!

good luck jojo

Best of luck, Jojo, please let us know how it went. Have confidence in your material and take it slowly. Breathe deeply and go for it, it will all be over soon enough and you'll be left with a wonderful feeling of achievment and relief. You'll be fine FFxx
