Things you need to know about your audience
Who will be there? What will they expect from you? What do they already know? Will they all understand me? How technical can I (or should I)
be?

Things to avoid
Talking down to an audience - people hate to be patronized
Showing that you know little or nothing about them (at least know something about who they are)
Being totally unprepared for questions Knowing nothing about their current
concerns
