Have three main points you want people to get from your talk. Structure the talk around them, and end explicitly with them. Practice practice practice. Then, take maximum advantage of the networking opportunities by attending as many sessions, mixers, and all that that you can. FOLLOW UP after the conference with people you met. Those will lead to priceless connections as you start your career.
