Hi,
My experience tell me that is very important to work out powerfull questions. Join a diverse team representing the participants, and draft relevant questions. Then check out the questions with other people to find out reactions. That's a long way

Then, pay attention to the room, to have everything to create the right atmosphere. It is going to be different to other meetings.

finally, I practice this exercise before the event:
The Seven Crown Jewels of Public Speaking Presence
1. Slow down. Savor the moment....................... Breathe.
2. Become aware of your body: Feel your feet on the ground.
3. Remember: Where you put your attention, that’s where energy goes.
4. Think of it as a conversation, not a presentation.
5. Ask yourself: How can I be of service? Instead of: How can I be perfect and show my expertise?
6. Smile: Both to be kind to yourself and to be open to your audience.
7. Trust the power of silence!

GOOD LUCK
