When I was doing conf talks, I carried an HDMI cable as part of my kit so I could hook my laptop to my hotel TV and practice. My biggest problem was I was an incessant fiddler, so I was always making changes.
If I could give any advice... Deck freeze two days before your talk. No more changes unless something is factually wrong. You need time to go through your talk as it will appear on stage at least 3 times.
Last, shoot for going over by 5 minutes in your practices. You will talk faster on stage. :-)
