Know your stuff.
Then the rest is about how you present that ‘stuff’, so, run it though your minds eye a few times seeing it as it would be if it was the best speech ever.
The confidence that you get from knowing your ‘stuff’ and knowing after visualizing that it can go fantastically. You’ll do great. I can see it, can you? Lol.

As this speech sounds like a big deal I would first be sure that it is well written and flows nicely when reading it. Next, read it over and over again, outloud to get your cadence and emphasis in all the right places. Once you have it well memorized, start practicing in front of the mirror, then video tape yourself if possible to watch it and see if you are doing anything that you feel looks or sounds weird. Practice your body language, and where you are putting your hands, get comfortable with your hands at your sides, or behind your back whenever you aren’t using them for effect during your speech. It’s normal to be nervous, so embrace it on the day of the speech, have a bottle of water handy and be sure that you have gone to the bathroom in advance. Also, no gum (I know you already know this, but I had to add it). One last thing, wear something that you know you look good in so that you aren’t worried about that either. Good Luck!

practice, practice, practice! In front of your mirror and then after you feel more comfortable with the information, you will feel more comfortable presenting it in front of your audience!
