I don't really "memorize" specific words, and I don't generally rely on a lot of "presenter notes". Instead, I just try to: A. know the material well enough that I could ad-lib the entire talk with the material on the slides just reminding me what I'm supposed to be talking about as I progress and B. mentally rehearse the talk (or at least parts of it) a few dozen times before hand. Again, not trying to memorize, just making sure I can talk intelligently about what I'm supposed to be talking about, for 60-90 minutes (or however long the slot is). When the actual talk starts, I just start talking and go with whatever comes out. Nobody is ever going to really know if I was "off script" or not, unless I go WAY off into la-la land.
