Make your powerpoints in different designs and colours. Spare extra slides to highlight points that you forget in big / bold letters. May be you can ask your friends to prepare ppts for the same / different topics and get your works written in a CD / DVD and exchange your ppts so that the points missed by you may be covered by your friend or vice versa.
