It’s not all about you. Provide a short bio. Make the speech about the audience.
Avoid jokes. Let humor come naturally from your subject matter and stories.
Let go of your grip. Get away from the podium/lectern and use the stage.
Don’t butcher names. Good speakers take the time to verify and learn how to pronounce names before they get to the stage.
Avoid using connectors, such as “like,” “as,” “and” and “so”. Pause for a minute.
Make the audience love you by closely paying attention to time limits for your talk and even shorten your speech. It will make you very popular.
