• Always ask yourself how technical do you really need to be.
• Can you say: “The technical details are in the handout” (to be distributed after the talk) or “for those interested in the technical details, I’ll be in the lobby after the talk”?
• Can one complex slide be broken down into several simpler ones? Can you use simple graphics and complex descriptions?
• for a technical presentation the basics that you discuss in your presentation tips are really important

• Very applicable -- whether or not your audience is comprised
  predominantly of researchers.  Most of what we present is very
  technical in nature; this entry gives excellent advice and serves as a
  good reminder. - Jeremy Price on 2007-09-04
