Pause again. Let it sink in.
Decide the three things (or less. no more than three) that you want them to remember. Weave the entire presentation around those three things. Say them repeatedly, and pause.

Yup. I suffer from the "turn a 30 min presentation into a 10 min one by talking 3x faster". It's soooo hard to slow down and coalesce to the big takeaways.
I find inspiration in watching my peers. Some are technically incompetent but are masters at presentation. One in particular, when we all go to DC once a year to give program updates, leaves me opening my wallet and thinking that it would make the most sense if she took all of my money too.
Said before, you're the expert. You wouldn't be there if you sucked...
