1- If you have time present it once to yourself tonight.
2- Time your presentation so you will be sure you are in the time range.
3- Have a good sleep tonight.
4- When you start your presentation, think yourself as a cool attractive knowledgeable person. Believe that nobody knows about the topic than you do.
5- If you have any overheads, PowerPoint slides are really helpful
Good luck

Take a deep breath and remember everybody else has to give one too. When I took public speaking in school I would ask to go first every time I gave a speech so I could get it over with and didn't have to spend the rest of the class panicking. I would also pick 3 people in different parts of the room to focus on when I looked around the room (helps if they are friends or people you know.) Good luck and you will do fine.

Ask yourself what you are afraid of happening. What would the worst outcome be? If this did happen, what would be so bad about it? Then, look at how likely this would be to happen. Draw from past experience, common sense. Take deep breaths before your presentation. Find something distracting that will relax you before your presentation that is discreet. I find filing my nails helps.

i also get very very scared and nervous of presentations!
the last time i had to do one, i practiced it loads before.
try not to memorise the speech, because if you forget what you were 'supposed' to say, then youll get more nervous! know your topic really well, so that you can imrpvise if you have to! bring photos/pictures, and make it interactive - if other people join in then you wont feel like everyone is 'looking' at you!

Do not be afraid. You know you are the best there is. And if people get to you , just think: Is that all you can do? Come on , bring it on . Is THAT all you can do? The Best.
