Most people are a bit nervous giving a presentation in front of a group of people and so there is a temptation to put everything you want to say on your slides and just read the slides.

29 Oral (PowerPoint) Hints Office of Undergraduate Research Thomas KvaleDon’t wait to upload your presentation until you are introduced. Remember the Conservation Law: Technology times reliability is a constant and Murphy is watching... If technology fails (memory stick isn’t recognized, internet connection broken + numerous other ways of failure), you will have to spend all of your time fighting with technology instead of telling us about your research. You will have 12 minutes total after you are introduced, which includes: accessing your talk, your presentation, and Q&A.
30 Oral (PowerPoint) Hints Office of Undergraduate Research Thomas KvaleNOW ... how to compose a PowerPoint presentation: Upload your talk the day BEFORE your presentation. LCD projectors sometimes have a different color balance than what is displayed on the computer screen. Rehearse, rehearse, and then rehearse some more. Fine tune slide transition sentences. Pick a slide where you want to be at when half of your time is over. That way you can speed up or slow down (add more detail to) your presentation and still finish on time with all you wanted to say.
