    The composition of your audience - Rhodes scholars or village idiots?
    Time allotted vs. time used, and pacing your delivery for a timely finish, allowing for review and Q&A.
    Lighting, sound, temperature, length of time between breaks, and other environmental issues within the delivery space.
    Your personal presence - clean, dressed appropriately, calm and organized in appearance in demeanor, no filthy habits (no picking your nose, no foul language), no personal attacks on anyone, be well-rested, ...
    Sufficient handouts of appropriate material, distributed at an appropriate time.
    Speak loud enough, and clearly. Be sober and don't slur your speech.
    Start on time - let the late arrivals know they should be on time the next time they want to attend one of your presentations. Don't allow a few of your audience members to establish a bad precedent.
    Respond to interruptions appropriately, but don't allow them to upset your pre-established schedule. Build in some slack time for valid, useful responses for which the audience prompts you.
    Arrive early to check out your setup requirements: your contact information posted conspicuously, computer readiness, projection TV, slide show, microphones and amps, lighting, podium, ...
    Present in three phases if you are giving a teaching presentation:
    1) Tell them what you are about to tell them - the prologue.
    2) Tell them what they came to learn - the body.
    3) Tell them what you just told them - the epilogue.
    Have fun, relax, and enjoy yourself - nobody wants to have to watch somebody sweat, squirm, and be miserable when they came to learn from them.
