Talks can be as much fun for the presenter as for the audience.
Highlight the main items you want to cover. Find out how long it takes. Build in lots of time for questions and answers. Decide how you want to handle these. At the same time, handling questions during the flow of your talk can interrupt that flow, and lead you off on a tangent, making it difficult for you to get back on track and cover all the points you wanted to present.
