I always think the most important thing is to really know your material. That way you'll just be comfortable and confident talking about it. And on the technique side, just practice in whatever way makes sense. If you're going to be using slides, get used to them. And if you're rusty speaking in front of people, a little rehearsing in front of a mirror can help.

Think very specifically what you'll say for opening remarks, closing remarks, and any difficult / awkward transitions... to the point of writing out a script for those sections... and read it outloud

Be confident in yourself. I know that's easier said than done but if you are confident, people are more likely to take you seriously.
