title: [How to prepare an oral presentation and a conference].
abstract: The final aim of any scientific presentation is to transmit information clearly and effectively in a way that enables the members of the audience to assimilate it but also stimulates their intellects. The success of an oral presentation depends not only on the content of the presentation, but also on the speaker's skills in transmitting the information and making it attractive. To rise to the challenge posed by these objectives, presenters must work through different preparatory phases such as identifying the aims of the talk, preparing the contents of the talk, designing the presentation, and rehearsing the talk. This special article provides some useful recommendations for successful scientific presentations. It is intended for both new and experienced presenters.
