ProTip # 1

Have multiple intro slides for each presenter in your bench so no edits need to be made for a simple name/title change.  We can 

ProTip #2

Break up all the talking with ANYTHING else.  Embed a game, ask trivia for knowledge uptake, design a game and relate it your message, take questions in the middle, etc...
