- Prioritize simple, clear, and descriptive language while presenting.
- If unsure or struggling with material, it is better to admit uncertainties rather than rushing through or winging answers.
- Keep in touch with the moderator to ensure harmonious hosting.
- Make provisions for surprises and adapt whenever needed to avoid discomfort from the audience and host.

Live demos carry a higher degree of risk and technical difficulties; use pre-cooked solutions wherever possible.
