you know the material it shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t read from a script, don’t read the PP. have a couple of bullet points you want to hit on for each slide. Remember most of the people on the call aren’t listening or could care less what you are saying.

8 pages in, this is probably a pointless response, but this is one of the best tips. Even if you know the material, if you get nervous, you're going to end up mostly reading what you put in the slides. If you put a wall of text, that's what you're going to read. If you put just bullets (and keep them as simple as possible with enough for you to recall the topic), you will recall it fine and come across way more natural, as you should.
With that, make sure you have your specific details readily available and organized, for reference. You know the material and can give ball park figures, but it's nice to have specific data for reference during any q&a.

This. Nothing sucks more than someone putting a slide up and then reading it verbatim. We can all read.
