Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
...continuing through the next few slides- it's great to respect the general level of knowledge of the audience but it's also polite to clarify and explain and acronyms that you're going to use and to elaborate, even just slightly, on any specialized jargon.
speak well of the guy's you mention. Give a "shot out" as I'm sure they'll be in the audience. Maybe even make a joke about one of them owing you money and that you kept your word and traveled all the way to Paris to "find them".
Here’s what was said about this presentation on social media.

can too.
