The goal of a presentation at a conference is not to tell the audience about everything that's in your paper. The goal is to get the audience to actually read your paper. So
- Don't try to cram in every experimental detail.
- Don't try to present every single result.
Other tips:
- memorize initial script
- know your audience (example, explaining GCN)
- advertisement for paper
- don't read things on your slides (for example, exact numbers)
- don't repeat the session chair
TODO: rework these into actual propse.
